Gentle sirs, I present to you:<\/p>\n

In this embedded table I was able to create a general entity name, call the character component, create an X\/Y origin, X\/Y pathing boundry in preparation to tell these assholes to get to steppin’.<\/p>\n
The meander function is called every frame (via Update() ) and moves the entities around the perimeter I have set using their original X\/Y position and the second X\/Y coordinate defined in the table. Because I am using<\/p>\n
Chars[i ].comp:Move(gyro.Vector2(X,Y)*deltatime);<\/pre>\nNot only is the sprite animated, but it also framerate independent and moves at the correct speed no matter how shitty your console (or computer) might be.<\/p>\n
Also… [size=20]SOUND WORKS[\/size]<\/p>\n
