Have you ever wondered how to create an animated character for a 2D game? I recently learned how and wanted to share the steps I took to take a sprite sheet and create it into a moving character for a 2D game in Unity.
I recently started to dive into game development and after checking out a few engines I landed on Unity. I wanted to go over a few setup steps I did to get VS Code working properly along with formatting and intellisense. This is going to assume you already have Unity installed and because it is pretty straight forward I did not see much point in going through those steps.
Recently I did a session at Georgia State University where I walked students on how to create and deploy a basic website using GitHub Pages to showcase their work, resume, or startup idea. I promised the students that I would do a write up on the steps we went over, how to take it to the next steps, and put it online. So that is what this post is.
