Touched up the question a tiny bit while I was here, but I was mostly here just to add the rather fitting [animation] tag. ♪

How to animate a character from a sprite sheet?

I'm making an online game, and I had been using a blank square as the character until recently. Now I want to add a real, animated character.

I downloaded a free sprite sheet itwhich has 12 (3x4) character sprites.

What is the general reasoningmethod to animate the character?

I see why having all the character animations in one file can be useful, but I don't understand how it would be done. I don't want code or anything, I just want to know how you normally use the sprite sheet to animate a character so I code it afterwards.
