The general method I guess is correct (repeating loops of shape numbers),
although I think it would be quicker like this:
#START_FRAME_LEFT = 1
#END_FRAME_LEFT = 3
#START_FRAME_RIGHT = 4
#END_FRAME_RIGHT = 6
If JoystickLeft(1)
startframe = #START_FRAME_LEFT
playerframe = #START_FRAME_LEFT-1
endframe = #END_FRAME_LEFT
EndIf
If JoystickRight
startframe = #START_FRAME_RIGHT
playerframe = #START_FRAME_RIGHT-1
endframe = #END_FRAME_RIGHT
EndIf
playerframe+1
If playerframe>endframe Then playerframe=startframe
QBlit 0,playerframe,100,100
