Currently, I have all my animation functionality all put into a class called Spiderman.

For example, every functionality that makes allow Spiderman to move left, right, become idle or use his shield is inside a class

called Spiderman.. So all the reading and drawing images and the logic that dictates which state is inside and what interval and frame of animation is inside this Spiderman class.

I am starting to get a little worried because the class is at 800 code long and I am not sure how well I can keep track of where things is if I wind up giving Spiderman more states. More states more lines of code.

Is there a way to organize like spread out the animation functionality? I am coding in Java.

It's hard to help because we don't know how you are describing the data now, how many of the 800 lines of code are specifically for describing animation?

How many lines are required for a single animation state... a single frame of the animation, is it 2D or 3D animation?

You might find it less cumbersome to put all the required information into a file that the class reads to populate animation information.

You present a huge list as if it was normal, but a class should ideally have a single responsibility and not 6+. Sticking everything into one god class will bite you.

Thanks! Time to fix this god class. Sorry, I am still learning good design.

At first glance, when I write it seems to be perfectly fine. Thanks for the point out.
