Animating a Sprite

In Pacman, his mouth should open and close as he goes along eating food. This is something new that you have not done yet in this class. The video below and this handout will walk you through the process. You will have to complete a simple test animation and then later, for your actual game, a separate animation. Just like vectoring, there may be some things that you do and don't turn out well the first time through. So make a simple one like in the handout, and then later, you'll have to animate a new sprite that is specifically designed for your game.

The videos below describe are a three part series on animating a simple pacman sprite. This is the practice animation that you'll have to turn in for a grade. Take your time as you do this project. To work effectively everything has to be done just right so don't rush and overlook a key step.
