Time for action – building the GameObject class – part 2

1. Add the updateAnimation() helper method to the GameObject class:

   #Region "Helper Methods"
   Private Sub updateAnimation(gameTime As GameTime)
       If _animations.ContainsKey(CurrentAnimation) Then
           If _animations(CurrentAnimation).FinishedPlaying Then
              PlayAnimation(_animations(CurrentAnimation).
                  NextAnimation)
           Else
              _animations(CurrentAnimation).Update(gameTime)
           End If
       End If
   End Sub
   #End Region

2. Add a new region called Public Methods to the GameObject class:

   #Region "Public Methods"
   #End Region

3. Inside the Public Methods region, add the PlayAnimation() method:

   Public Sub PlayAnimation(name As String)
       If Not IsNothing(name) AndAlso _animations.ContainsKey(name) Then
           _currentAnimation = name
           _animations(name).Play()
       End If
   End Sub

4. Still in the Public Methods region, add the Update() method:

   Public Overridable Sub Update(gameTime As GameTime)
       If Not Enabled...
