Many ways to animate

Personally I think I'm going to go for the graphic object with backGroundPattern method every time
as it seems to offer the chance of far more fine-grained control than any of theotheres.

Also, the "HyperCard" flip-book method results in major file bloat.

Possibly this is the start of something that resembles sprites.

Ouch; sorry about "keyboad".

A problem associated with both stacks #7 and #8 is that if one keeps one's arrow keys down, instead of "punctuating" them,
one ends up with multiple animations that interfere with other arrowKeyDowns subsequently.

There are indeed many ways to animate... this example was written by John Craig, a couple of years ago... it is liveCode and does not use Malte's animation engine

Thanks, Dixie, for the reference.

However

we require a platform game engine to tie things together.

makes me wonder
if he is using some sort of engine (that is the way I would read that statement).

Here's stack number 10 - collisions, of a sort.

This is not entirely satisfactory as, by keeping one's finger on an arrow key
one can move the penguin through the brick pile and avoid the collision routine.
