Spinning an animated coin

[simsmj]

This tutorial took rather longer than I thought it would, because I kept changing my mind about how to approach it, and how much should be in it, and it is still longer than I would like.

This is the coin from the tutorial, except that each side is 16 frames, rather than the eight mentioned in the tutorial. I made it eight in the tutorial to reduce the number of illustrations. The larger number of frames makes the animation clearer and smoother.

Thanks for revealing the secret, if I have more time I might even try it myself
The explanation is clear enough, thanks.
