This tutorial only covers the very basic use of animations in orx. All animations are stored in a directed graph. This graph defines all the possible transitions between animations. An animation is referenced using a unique character string. All the transitions and animations are created via config files. text/html 2025-09-30T17:26:19+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.orx-project.org/wiki/en/tutorials/animation/animation_clearing_targets?rev=1759253179&do=diff Animation Targets, and Clearing Targets Clearing a target can be very handy on objects with very simple behaviours.

For example, for a parent object, you can have a number of animations defined in the data config, say directions for a robot. You can have matching animations defined for a child object, for example, a flame which will change direction to keep in sync with the parent. This is achieved all in data configuration using naming conventions. Overrides and exceptions are covere… text/html 2025-09-30T17:26:19+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.orx-project.org/wiki/en/tutorials/animation/animation_walkthrough?rev=1759253179&do=diff Animation Walk-through This walk-through is designed to guide you through the new Orx animation system. This new system is designed to be super easy to configure. To follow along, ensure you have a working Orx project.

Of course you do. Everyone does. How about a nice way to have particle explosions in your game? Great for bullet stormers. This explosion is quite simple.

Many games, especially platformers, will have a main sprite with many frames of animation, and will be repositioned across the screen as the character animates. text/html 2025-09-30T17:26:19+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.orx-project.org/wiki/en/tutorials/animation/text_animation?rev=1759253179&do=diff Text Animation Not only can the animation system work with graphics and frames, it can also animate text strings. Think “Ready Set Go” in racing games or animated text in console games (rogue-likes!). To start this tutorial, let's create a blank project using the init script.

Essentially a sequence trigger. As in the Animation Walkthrough, we'll use the chicken sprite sheet again: Basic Config Setup
