In order to give a more professional aspect to our game, we could animate our sprites so that it does not constantly show a still image but rather displays animated characters, enemies, and obstacles. Cocos2d-x provides an easy mechanism to add these kinds of animations to our sprites, as we can appreciate in the following code listing:
//Animations
Vector<SpriteFrame*> frames;
Size playerSize = sprPlayer->getContentSize();
frames.pushBack(SpriteFrame::create("player.png", Rect(0, 0, playerSize.width, playerSize.height)));
frames.pushBack(SpriteFrame::create("player2.png", Rect(0, 0, playerSize.width, playerSize.height)));
auto animation = Animation::createWithSpriteFrames(frames,0.2f);
auto animate = Animate::create(animation);
sprPlayer->runAction(RepeatForever::create(animate));
