I think that was a rare exception, so heh
it was fixed when I disconnected the monitor and then closed the program out.
But back to my other question, are we able to create alternate states?
Right now there's just a few states like standing, walking, and flying. Probably next thing will be jumping, since some spritesheets have images for that, and states for attack and getting hit by an attack, so they can run around fighting attacking each other.
If you want to try making your own states/sprites, you can pick one of them that is similar to what you want, copy and paste the .spr file. Then open the .spr file in a text editor. If you leave the explorer window open, when you make changes to the default state it will update the thumbnail so you can get an idea what it will look like. That helps figure out how to line up the animation frames. It can be a little bit of a challenge to get everything to line up perfect, some spritesheets are easier than others. Bubble Bobble is a good example that was pretty easy, since the frames line up on a 30x30 grid.
Most the sprites that are installed with it are pieced together from the spritesheet image files, but you could also create animated GIFs for the individual states if there's an image editor you're already used to.
