Feature Request: Flip Bitmap X, Flip Bitmap Y

ORBZ

It would be really handy to be able to flip an actor's x and y bitmap. This would be particularly handy for things that walk left and right as you could simply use a single animation sequence and flip the x value depending on if the actor is moving left or right. (i guess technically mirror around the y axis).

I second this and should be fairly easy to implement.

BUMP!

I'd love to see this implemented also. I've been doing some animation for my character and it seems like a waste of memory to have to drop a bunch of identical animations into GS that are flipped. Maybe they could add an option to the Animation Attribute that says "Flip". That would be awesome!

A very big +1!

Can't tell you how long I've wanted a mirror image feature
It would be great for file size reduction especially for animations

Yeah, I have plans for a SF2 style fighter. This would be a Godsend ;-)

YES! x 5 This basic game feature is VERY needed -
for any side scrolling platformer, fighter etc.

not to mention, it will double the bitmap memory efficiency of any such game!
(and save us lots of time importing the same artwork twice)

(That's why Sagat's eyepatch switches eyes when he walks the other direction ;-)

I can do good character voices, etc. if you want some for that fighter ;-)

I plan to make a fighter of my own at some point,
but probably should work up to the challenge of coding it in small steps!
(as this genre is more complex than most...)
