Usage

import skelform_kraken as skf

Basic Setup

• skf.load() - loads .skf/.skfe file and returns armature & textures, to be used later
• skf.animate() - transforms the armature's bones based on the animation(s)
• skf.construct() - provides the bones from this armature that are ready for use
• skf.draw() - draws the bones on-screen, with the provided style(s)

1. Load:

(armature, textures) = skf.load("skellington.skfe")

This should only be called once (eg; before main game loop), and armature and textures should be kept for later use.

2. Animate:

# use `skf_pg.time_frame()` to get the animation frame based on time (1000 = 1 second)
time = 2000
frame = skf.time_frame(time, armature.animations[0], False, True)

print(frame) # will be at the 2 second mark of the animation

armature.bones = skf.animate(armature, [armature.animations[0]], [0], [0])

Note: not needed if armature is static

3. Construct:

center = kn.Vec2(screen.get_width()/2, screen.get_height()/2)

final_bones = skf.construct(
    armature,
    screen,
    skf_pg.AnimOptions(
      pos=center
    )
)

Modifications to the armature (eg; aiming at cursor) may be done before or after construction.

4. Draw:

skf.draw(final_bones, armature.styles, textures, screen)
