A cat walk cycle

I spent a few hours trying my hand at a “walk cycle”. This is a video which can be looped to produce an infinite walk. I chose a cat as the subject (Toupac, my girlfriend’s family cat). I used this walk cycle guide (actually for a dog but I assume dogs have similar gaits to cats). I used a “pixel art” style, which made this a bit simpler, and makes it possible to use this in future for a retro game. I made this using GIMP.

After months of secret toil, I and Andrew Carr released Everyday Data Science, a unique interactive online course! You’ll make the perfect glass of lemonade using Thompson sampling. You’ll lose weight with differential equations. And you might just qualify for the Olympics with a bit of statistics!
