Original Post
Well I'm working on my second game and I have decided that it would be like a Zelda. I have successfully gotten the map to scroll, zelda image to move, and turn. But the image has an animation, though I can't see it. My guess is that I'm reloading the image to fast to. Is there a way I can make the animation show? The animation is simply the user walking. here is the code here is the picture
