Animations per character:

• Idle 
• Breathing 
• Attack 
• Run
• Hit 
• Death

📦 Included Files

There is a single zip file that contains subfolders pertaining to each character. In each character subfolder, there are

• 4 complete png sprite sheets for each colored version of the character. The complete sprite sheet contains all animation frames for that version of the character
• 4 .plist files which contain the frame data for all animations for each colored version of the character (TexturePacker / Cocos2D format)

Drag-and-drop into Unity, Godot, or GameMaker using the included .plist.

The Sprite size is generally 100×100 px per frame on a spritesheet size of 1024×1024 px. However, the .plist for every character has the specific frame size details if it deviates from the norm. 

🧱 How to use in a game

There are many ways however here is a high level explanation of a "barebones" way of using the given files to play character animations. For any given character:

1. Load the assets
   1. Load the spritesheet PNG.
   2. Parse the plist file into a dictionary.
2. . Read frame entries from the plist
   1. Each entry in frames represents one animation frame.
   2. The key (e.g. attack_000.png) is a frame identifier.
3. Split each frame key into:
   1. Animation name → attack
   2. Frame index → 000
4. Store animation definitions
   1. Your runtime structure might look like: animations["attack"] = [ frameRect(404,101,100,100), frameRect(808,202,100,100), ... ]
5. Play an animation
   1. Choose an animation name ("attack").
   2. Iterate through its ordered frames.
   3. Each frame maps to a rectangle on the spritesheet
