8 frames, originally 6 but added the 2 extra's to make the step more noticable.
Cheers for the comments, not got round to doing a running animation but there will be one in the game soon, I've made it so when you hold down shift your character moves quicker. But maybe looks a bit odd considerin it still plays the walking animation.
To be honest I've not done many animations for the game, its currently for a project so im solely concentrating on the general graphics atm, theres only so much I could achieve within the deadline.
thx again.
