pylcanim

pylcanim is a simple library for playing animations made with sprite factory

(https://github.com/craftworkgames/SpriteFactory)

Installation of pylcanim library

To install from pypi with pip

pip install pylcanim

Downloading SpriteFactory

You can directly download the executable(note: At this point this is windows only) From: https://craftworkgames.itch.io/sprite-factory Or build it yourself From: https://github.com/craftworkgames/SpriteFactory

Using SpriteFactory

You can see this video https://youtu.be/mSakKpmBjrg (time stamp in description)

Using the library

import the pylcanim into your project with

from pylcanim import pylcanim

Then initialize the library with

pylcanim.init('Path/To/Your/SpriteFactoryFile.sf')

In your main loop write

image=pylcanim.lcAnim(fpscount,row)

Where

fpscount is an integer which determines how fast your animation should run(0 is fastest and becomes slower increasingly)

and

row is the row number in which your sprite is situated(default=0 for single line spritesheets)

An entire Example

import pygame
from pylcanim import pylcanim as p

(width,height)=(300,200)
clock=pygame.time.Clock()
screen=pygame.display.set_mode((width,height))
pygame.display.flip()
running=True
p.init('run.sf')
while running:
    image =p.lcAnim(3,0)
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type==pygame.QUIT:

            running=False
    screen.fill((255, 255, 255))
    screen.blit(image, (0, 50))
    pygame.display.update()

    clock.tick(60)
pygame.quit()
