A simple game to practice animation in JMonkeyEngine

Jumpstart

A game I'm coding to practice handling animations smoothly and consistantly in JMonkeyEngine.

Supported Actions

• Idle
• Walk --> Run (using BlendAction)
• Fall impact
• Crouching (moving and idle, but missing idle animation)
• Draw pistol, shoot, and holster (currently incompatible with movement)

Code Features

• Animation utility.
• Character movement utility.
• Smooth walk direction interpolation using Quaternions instead of FastMath.interpolateLinear.

Todo

• Jumping (framework is setup but untested, waiting on proper animations).
• Grab some more animations. :D
• Movement speed falloff, instead of instantaneous stopping.
• Specific fall impact animation when the character is moving fast.

Dependencies

• JMonkeyEngine (or on GitHub)
• Lemur 1.16+
• Minie (latest version is highly suggested)
• J3map
• Boost
• Zay-ES
