# Useful code for making games with Löve2D

## Animations

Download Animation.lua for making this work (and the .png)

```lua

-- main.lua

require 'Animation'

function love.load()

	love.graphics.setDefaultFilter("nearest", "nearest") -- Not necessary, it is for loading correctly pixelart images.

	local img = love.graphics.newImage("oldHero.png") -- Sprite size --> 16 x 18

	myAnimation = Animation:new(img, 16, 18, 0.5, true) -- The animation takes 0.5 seconds and loops until myAnimation:stop()

	myAnimation:setScale(8) -- The drawn image is 8 times bigger than the real size.

	myAnimation:addCallback(5, function() print("I am called in the frame 5!!") end) -- Each time the animation reaches the 5 frame, this function is called.

	myAnimation:start() -- Starts the animation.

end

function love.update(dt)

	myAnimation:update(dt) -- Remember the update and the draw!!

end

function love.draw()

	myAnimation:draw(200, 200) -- Remember the update and the draw!!

end

```
