  How to Use Images and Sprite Animations with Felgo
  All of these free graphics won’t be much use unless you know how to use them in your game!
  With Felgo, adding both Static Images and Sprites to a game is as simple as it can get.
  Sprites can be added to your game using Felgo’s SpriteSequenceVPlay element. This is a great element if you have a game object with multiple states like walking and jumping.
  import Felgo 3.0 import QtQuick 2.0 GameWindow { Scene { SpriteSequenceVPlay { anchors.centerIn: parent // center it in the scene width: 150 // width of the image in the game height: 150 // height of the image in the game SpriteVPlay { frameCount: 3 // number of frames in the animation frameRate: 10 // how fast animation plays, set this to 50 and enjoy the show! frameWidth: 640 // width of 1 frame frameHeight: 540 // height of 1 frame source: "" } } } }
  This animates our sprite like this:
  If you’d just like to insert a static image, a simple Image Element does the trick.
  The following code will show our image frozen in place:
  import Felgo 3.0 import QtQuick 2.0 GameWindow { Scene { Image { id: shootingGirl anchors.centerIn: parent width: 150 // width of the image in the game height: 150 // height of the image in the game source: "" } } }
