I was wanting to know if Novices code would be simpler or less cpu intensive if I were only using 4 animations instead of 4 moving and 4 stopped animations.

My vehicle only needs 4 animations and does not need a different animation when moving.

Would it be much of a change in the code to only show 1 animation for each direction?

Using one or several animations must not have impact on the performance.

I think that it wouldnt make much difenece if you had 4 or 8 animations because GE dosent execute all the code in the key down events, it executes just one if statement at a time.
