If you run it from the code, it works this.skelet.setAnimation(0,“1”,true); Why did the animation stop running itself when the application was launched?

I think that competition at the highest skill levels can be compelling to watch for the right games. I think that the narrative that naturally grows out of high level competition results in rivalries that can be engaging for players to follow. I also think that high level competition self-selects for a certain amount of ego that helps drive the player to compete at a high level.

Especially when adjusting the camera position or angle, I don’t know when to make it reasonable, I always have to press the play button, which is very inconvenient, reducing productivity and wasting time making games.
