import sprites.utils._;  
import sprites.maths._;  
import sprites.\*;

Sprite sonic;  
StopWatch sw= new StopWatch ();

void setup() {  
size(1280, 720);  
sonic = new Sprite (this, “pngjoy.com\_sonic-sprite-modern-sonic-advance-sprites-transparent-png\_10029178.png”, 9, 10, 0);  
sonic.setXY(width/2, height/2);  
sonic.setFrameSequence(84, 89, 0.1);  
sonic.setScale(2);  
registerMethod(“pre”, this);  
noSmooth();  
}

public void pre() {  
float elapsedTime=(float)sw.getElapsedTime();  
S4P.updateSprites(elapsedTime);  
}

void draw() {  
background(32);  
S4P.drawSprites();  
}

This is what it looks like when I run it
