[SDL] Quick Question about animation.

[Lamonte(Scheols/Demonic)]

I'm not sure if this is the best way to go, but I think this might
work anyone agree disagree?

void int manOne(){
	return 2;	
}
void int manTwo(){
	return 3;
}
void int spriteRUN(){
	if(manOne() == 2){
	//call sprite
		
	//change sprite possition
		manTwo();
	}else if(manTwo == 3){
	//call sprite
		
	//change sprite possition
		manOne();
	}
}
