►Lesson Description: In this lesson I teach you how to perform sprite animation in SDL 2. This relies on us being able to select a portion of a sprite sheet (i.e. an image that contains multiple frames of the same character or object) and then being able to cycle through a specific set of frames.

Note: Sprite sheets are likely more efficient than having to load several images and maintain them, we would rather have all of the data in a single texture.

At the end of the video, I also discuss the content asset pipeline to further add power to your API.
