Its a pretty darn good looking animation, but your code could have been 
var mmnumber, x, y : int := 0
colorback (black)
cls
procedure animation
    cls
    %Pic.Draw (animation,x,y...
    %put "megaman...
    View.Update
    delay (150)
end animation

%...

%mmnumber := mm5
%x:=8
%y:=15
animation
%mmnumber := mm6
%x:=9
%y:=20
animation
%mmnumber := mm7
%x:=8
%y:=27
animation

%...


obviously I'm not going to tell you exactly how the code goes, so that you have the chance to figure it out. I hope that this does help you out, if not, just ask again and I'll give you another hint:D

anyways, its pretty basic how to do it, good luck!

Good job :clap:  You should put your pictures into an array and make you code less linear

yea, an array would be much better, because you could number your image variables and put in a for loop and call it with the counter, for example.


var megaman :array 1..10 of int
var x,y:int:=10
var font:int:=Font.New("serif:10")

%set each section of the array here
%using this example
megaman(1):=Pic.FileNew("pic1.bmp")
...
...


x:=0

for a:1..10 %note the 'a' counter
       Pic.Draw(megaman(a),x,y,picCopy)% put the 'a' counter in brackets after your array
       x+=1 %add one to 'x' variable this is the same as 'x:=x+1'
       Draw.Font("Mega Man Animation!",0,200,font,white)
       View.Update
       delay(150)
end for

That of course won't work as-is so you'll have to finish it, but remember you have to declare ALL of the array components.

i have the same comments as the ppl above but im guessing you probably want to have the user control megaman. 

there are plenty of tutorials about moving a charcter so im going to skip the basics.

Just a little trick i think would be good for step by step animation when holding down one button.

in the loop have a count variable that increases everytime the loop cycles and your still holding down the button, when the count gets to a certain number then the picture changes,  when it reaches the end of the animation set then the count is turned back into 0 so it repeats if your still holding down the button.
