Movement Animations

[benisrael29]

Task: Add movement animations for both NPC's and the player character.

Feature:

• Implement a PlayerAnimationController which configures animations to be played when the player changes direction.

• Configure KeyboardPlayerInputComponent to throw entity events when keyboard input is received.

• Tigger events only in KeyboardPlayerInputComponent.KeyUp to avoid triggering animations every update() cycle.

• Implement PhysicsComponent.MovementEvents() to be called in PhysicsComponent.update() and throw movement events for the NPC entity.

• Use private int lastDirection and private int currentDirection to track changes in direction of the NPC. lastDirection is to be update via PhysicsComponent.MovementEvents() where as currentDirection is update every cycle by a call to KeyboardPlayerInputComponent.getCurrentDirectionCode().

• Implement player animations

• Implement NPC animations
