macOS Moving images. I don't know what to do to make my image move.

[dylanweber]

I am learning Objective-C, and I have gone my way up the chain, but VERY slowly.

I just want to learn by making useless demos that help me understand some classes.
I want to have a picture of an 8-bit Mario jump up when I click a button (and play a jumping sound, but that's nothing, I know NSSound). What would I do?

Note: If you're going to help, I want to let you know, I know NSView (kinda) and when I want Mario to "jump," the image would change to another image of Mario with his hands up. I want to know if this is accomplishable.

Please.

Try the NSViewAnimation class:

If you google nsview animation, you can find this Apple reference doc:
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/Animation_Overview/

Add the word tutorial to the search to find tutorials.

Or try this search:
NSViewAnimation tutorial

Check out SDL. You can whip this up in just a few minutes.
