Animation for sprites.

[Phil-hacker]

When using the 2DSprite you can set animation frames but you have to write a script to play the animation. The solution for that would be an fps property that would play the animation automatically.
You can achieve this with a simple script but it would be better if it would be an integrated feature.

Or you can use AnimatedSprite?

[Phil-hacker]

But you can't use an atlas in the AnimatedSprite.
AnimatedSprites are also way more complicated, because you have to create a SpriteFrames resource.

AnimatedSprite is intended to be used for basic use cases. For advanced use cases, Sprite + AnimationPlayer will always remain a more powerful and flexible combination.

I think AnimatedSprite/SpriteFrames should be improved. At least, we should add the ability to configure individual delays between frames, but other improvements are probably possible. AnimationPlayer is universal, but IMO it's less convenient and takes more time to set up animations.

I'm fairly new to godot, but i used the Sprite2D with the AnimationPlayer; they really work well together.
