Big Wheel State Machine Explained

Here, you can see how the layers of the Big Wheel state machine work. Apart from the listener being able to click on the character, the layers are the most important part of these state machines. With them, I can separate the change of elements, head, and body, from the reaction of each part when clicking. This simplifies the state machine, instead of having everything on the same layer, and gives you better control of the animation.

Mixing animation is one of the thing I'm looking forward to learn soon. Seems so fun and complex but output is crazy.

Yeah. Mixing animations allows you to do very interesting things and is a good way to optimize animations for good performance and a small file size.
