Re: [pygame] time depending animation code

[DR0ID <dr0id@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I'm trying to make a time dependent animation, but I'm not sure if I'm 
doint this right. Please take a look:

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------


def _update(self, dt, *args):                # dt is the elapsed time in 
the last frame (main loop)
           self._delay += dt                    # accumulate passed 
time since last image change
           if self._delay > self._interval:   # if passed time is 
bigger as the animation interval
               dframes = int(self._delay/self._interval)   # calculate 
number of frames to move on (if dt is big it will skip images)
               self._idx += dframes           # move animation index
               if self._idx > self._endFrame:    # check if end of 
animation is reached
                   self._idx = self._startFrame   # restart loop 
endless looping
               self._delay %= self._interval     # start accumulating 
time with already past time of next intervall<--IS THIS CORRECT?
               # do other stuff here set:  self.image = 
self.images[self._idx] or something like this


#------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Perhaps it can be done in a faster or simpler way, if so, tell me please.

Thank you for your help.
