Perfect(?) Walking

[Chucknorrisaurrus]

I'm excited. Not because I've never made something like this, I've done this plenty of times, but not on LOVE. I've made my first little program. This is also my crappy payment to those who helped me with some of the questions I had, although I'm sure those who have such extensive knowledge of the language will find no use of this.

Regardless, here it is. This is, as far as I know, seamless walking. I was looking into how to make a walking character and found a post by Bartbes. However, when I looked at his/her code, I couldn't figure out for the life of me how it worked.

Code: Select all

function love.update(dt)	
	if walking then
		anim:seek(step*4+direction)
		steptime = steptime + dt
		if steptime >= 0.25 then --change this
			step = (step%2)+1
			steptime = steptime - 0.25 --and this
			--if you want another delay
		end
	else
		anim:seek(direction)
	end
end

After looking at it for a while I figured out what he/she was doing with this code and implemented it into my program. Big thanks to him/her, though, for this snippet.

Constructive criticism is always appreciated, It's nice to know exactly what is "not tickling everyone's fancy" so to speak.

EDIT: Oh, and before the posts come rolling in, I know the code is sloppy. I cleaned it up as best as I can, but.. well, you know.

Interesting. If you change directions, however, the guy's walking backwards for a short time.

First of all, I have no memory of that snippet...
Second, and this is important: I'm male.

Aren't you genderless, as a sentient machine?

It appears to wait for the end of the animation cycle to switch.
