    Animation

    Module: p5.play
    Parent Module: p5.play

    An Animation object contains a series of images (p5.Image) that can be displayed sequentially.

    All files must be png images. You must include the directory from the sketch root, and the extension .png

    A sprite can have multiple labeled animations, see Sprite.addAnimation and Sprite.changeAnimation, however an animation can be used independently.

    An animation can be created either by passing a series of file names, no matter how many or by passing the first and the last file name of a numbered sequence. p5.play will try to detect the sequence pattern.

    For example if the given filenames are "data/file0001.png" and "data/file0005.png" the images "data/file0003.png" and "data/file0004.png" will be loaded as well.

    Animation
    (
    • fileName1
    • fileName2
    • fileNameN
    )

    Defined in lib/p5.play.js:3277

    Parameters:

    • fileName1 String

      First file in a sequence OR first image file

    • fileName2 String

      Last file in a sequence OR second image file

    • [fileNameN] String optional multiple

      Any number of image files after the first two

    Example:

    var sequenceAnimation;
var glitch;

function preload() {
  sequenceAnimation = loadAnimation("data/walking0001.png", "data/walking0005.png");
  glitch = loadAnimation("data/dog.png", "data/horse.png", "data/cat.png", "data/snake.png");
}

function setup() {
  createCanvas(800, 600);
}

function draw() {
  background(0);
  animation(sequenceAnimation, 100, 100);
  animation(glitch, 200, 100);
}

    Methods

    changeFrame
    (
    • frame
    )

    Defined in lib/p5.play.js:3665

    Changes the current frame.

    Parameters:

    • frame Number

      Frame number (starts from 0).

    clone () Animation

    Defined in lib/p5.play.js:3509

    Objects are passed by reference so to have different sprites using the same animation you need to clone it.

    Returns:

    Animation:

    A clone of the current animation

    draw
    (
    • x
    • y
    • r=0
    )

    Defined in lib/p5.play.js:3534

    Draws the animation at coordinate x and y. Updates the frames automatically.

    Parameters:

    • x Number

      x coordinate

    • y Number

      y coordinate

    • [r=0] Number optional

      rotation

    getFrame () Number
