Feedback:
- [Mentioning the obvious] The Animation is too fast
- Looking at the animation code, I find it odd that you use a random function to control which frame of the animation is being drawn. The problem is when the animation is supposed to be "Left, Right, Left, Right", it can go "Left, Left, Right, Left, Right, Right, Right" with the current method.

I also noticed the random sprite blitting, a different way to do it.. If you care, I have perfected a simple method of animation, that I am trying to get out there for other people to use. if your interested in seeing what I have done, its the way I built my Y's Lua game, so take a look at that..

But, its still a good idea for a game! I think that metroid on PSP will be sweet when compleeted

but yeah, if you want to use my animation system, PM me and I can send you a modified version that will work with your already existing code.

Actually looking at it again Jman, not a bad method. The only real flaw that I can see is when animations are more then two frames (eg 6).

my method or jmans

i am currently working on + im perfecting shooting

[yaustar]

Jmans.

and on my E's dev thread, I posted the 2 files including my Animation system, just if you wanted to look over that, I feal that it should work, I havent tested it with more then 2 frames, but it doesent seem like it would be any difrerent
