The anim8 library

We have already set up our player and collider box; the player object is now collidable, but we need to animate it. Earlier on, we already created animation with quad (Chapter 2, LÖving Up!). Now we'll be using a cleaner and straightforward animation library—anim8 (love2D.org/wiki/anim8). Just as with the bump library and ATL, we are also going to require the anim8 library in main.lua; be sure that you have already downloaded a copy of the library for use and make sure anim8.lua is in the same directory with main.lua.

anim8 = require "anim8"

1. Set the player character sprite, the same one we loaded in Tiled as the player object:

   playerSprite = love.graphics.newImage("maps/sprite.png")

2. Set up the character's grid and size (playerSprite:getWidth() and playerSprite:getHeight())"

   local a8 = anim8.newGrid(32,32,playerSprite:getWidth(), playerSprite:getHeight())

3. Now let's define our animation states:

   playerWalkRight = anim8.newAnimation('loop', a8('1-8',1), 0.1)
   playerJumpRight = anim8...
