New Project Setup

This tutorial begins with a new platformer project. To create a new platformer project, see the Platformer Basics tutorial. In short, the easiest way to get an animated character is to use the new project wizard.

If you started a new project without using the wizard, you would need to create an entity with a sprite and assign a .achx file to the sprite. If you don't have a .achx file prepared already, use these below to give yourself a head start.
