FORGIVE ANY STUCK UP OR "I'M A PRO" TONES IN MY WRITING. For this one, I made five sprites: Body, front hair, back hair, top bar, and bottom bar. Each one is animated by gliding for 1 second. I tried putting some of them at 1.05, but slowly and surely they started overlapping wrongly, turning a cute bounce into hair that flew across the screen. Discovery no.1: keep the gliding speed the same. Everything else was just matching y coordinates. I found that instead of changing speed, changing how far it has to travel in one second helps. That adds the bounce I need. Discovery no. 2: changing how far it has to travel in a set amount of time adds bounce. I also made it slightly faster. By the way, these are blanket statements that could be incorrect depending on the situation.
