you are my favourite indian tutor maker! love you from Eastern Europe

[@demian5511]

There is a problem with this code. First frame is never displayed, because you run update function and it sets a frame counter to 1, and that is the second frame in your spritesheet. If you let the animation run at lower speed you will see it clearly.

This video actually helped me figure out a problem I was having with a project, I really appreciate it.

[@stefotsufurema13]

what happens if the second row of sprites (running left); would have less number of sprites (for example dying or shooting)

how to render 2 sprites????

[@daveclydesdale6514]

Great video, really helpful. Thanks so much for making it!

[@Ever4u]

Sir,wht is difference between drawimage( ) and css animation method?

[@PothOnProgramming]

I would say you have a much higher degree of control over your drawing with drawImage. You can easily scale the image and you don't have to worry about other CSS properties changing the way your animation renders. Also, drawImage and request animation frame were made for doing stuff like this, so if you're going to animate lots of sprites, drawing them to a big canvas is a safe bet.

[@Falzer]

Thank you

[@eduber92]

awesome video thanks

[@rishikarri74]

Super helpful - thank you!

[@sanskaarpatni9137]

Great tutorial!

[@crazycolombian5591]

can someone tell me where to get a canvas I don't know where to get one

[@willthedavies123]

Thank you very much for your help! great video!

[@blinzi69]

im using a slightly different method. im counting frames in my update function by adding 0.2 each frame to the counter - i then use a math.floor(counter % columns) - only problem i have is, if i am switching directions very fast, my animation gets stuck on one single frame and my character stops being animated. so i tried your method but with the same result - can u think of anything thats causing this isse?

[@blinzi69]

ok i figured it out :-P error wasnt in the animation code but in the check to see if the player is moving or idle.

[@victorgonzalezrivera6806]

Thank you so much, it helped me a lot. But when I do this with my animation my sprites are pretty low quality, should I save the sheet in PNG or JPG?

[@SimplifiedCoding]

+Victor Gonzalez Rivera you should use png

[@mongzera819]

if the image resolution is too low the result is also low. To make it high you should write "imageSmoothingEnabled=false; ," it will work.

[@HarpreetSingh-cz2zh]

I'm very stuck with this. I'm trying to use a sprite sheet with 2 rows and 6 columns each.. the sprite sheet works in full sequence with with rows..Issue is the frames only go up to 8cols then they stop.. whats wrong?

[@PothOnProgramming]

Harpreet Singh frame_index = row * sheet_columns + column; frame_x = (column % sheet_columns) * frame_width; frame_y = floor (row / sheet_columns) * frame_height;

[@PothOnProgramming]

Harpreet Singh you probably aren't calculating your frame source y properly if animation is stuck in first row, where y == 0

[@linuxzinho7620]

Perfect !

[@latinstuff1]

why does it look like you are in a 1980's space ship from spaceballs ? lol

[@armandocastro6914]

How 8 mod 8 = 1 ????

[@SimplifiedCoding]

That is 0.. 8 % 8 is zero so it will again start the frame from 0.. if in video i said one that is just a miss.. though i dont remember what I said

[@NogCube]

More "positions" in sprite = more "fps"?

[@noahkrossa6035]

more "refresh screen" = more "fps" ==> 60fps = "60 refresh screen/second"

[@nym4960]

Thank you!!!!!

[@reyaan4239]

owo

[@chrisbreinholt1655]

8 % 8 = 0 not 1 guy. Lol.

[@SimplifiedCoding]

Yes I know, that we call a slip of tongue, sorry :)
