What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides expert patterns for implementing both frame-based and skeletal 2D animations in Godot, ensuring smooth, responsive, and visually appealing character and object movements.

Core Features & Use Cases

• AnimatedSprite2D Best Practices: Avoid common pitfalls with signals like animation_looped and animation_finished, and learn to use advance(0) for synchronous updates.
• Procedural Animation: Implement squash and stretch effects for enhanced game feel.
• Cutout Animation: Utilize Bone2D for skeletal animation workflows.
• Use Case: When developing a platformer character, use this Skill to ensure precise animation syncing for attacks, footsteps, and smooth transitions between idle, run, and jump states, while also adding squash and stretch for a more dynamic feel.

Quick Start

Use the godot-2d-animation skill to implement frame-perfect event triggering for SFX using the animation_sync.gd script.
