Examples

Example 1

We start by creating a new core instance. Then we create the actual sprite and specify that we want to generate the frames for the sprite animation, based on the width, height and direction that we specify. We also specify the duration for each frame. At the end, we start the sprite animation using this method.

var canvas = oCanvas.create({
	canvas: "#canvas"
});

var sprite = canvas.display.sprite({
	x: 177,
	y: 137,
	origin: { x: "center", y: "center" },
	image: "img/sprite.png",
	generate: true,
	width: 20,
	height: 20,
	direction: "x",
	duration: 60
});

canvas.addChild(sprite);

sprite.startAnimation();
