Hi! I'm trying to create an idle animation based on if the Hero class is facing a certain direction, and not moving. However, when idling, it would flicker between idle left and idle right.
I can't seem to identify the problem so any help would be appreciated!
Here's the code:
Sorry for the messy set up.
Thanks again!

int health=5,lives=3;

public boolean lookingRight;
