Essentially, we make a quad from the frame sheet, and then render different parts of that quad depending on time passed.

There is also https://github.com/kikito/anim8

You may find an explanation of how to use it on that same page.

anim8

AnAL < this one I didn't try but I am sure it's not deprecated

You may find a working demo of anim8 on its forum thread (the source code of the demo can also be seen on github, but in the demo branch)

I don't get how to make the grids.

[kikito]

Animations are made from a single image. That image contains the animated character in several positions, arranged in files and columns.

Grids allow you to define how big or small are those columns and rows. They are made with the anim8.newGrid(tw,th,iw,ih) function. The first two parameters are the dimensions (width and height) of the frames - the individual "squares" that compose the rows and columns - in pixels. The next two parameters are the total dimension of the image in pixels (again, width and height). You can ignore the rest from now, you'll probably don't need them yet.

I still don't get it...
