Thought this might be helpful to someone eventually, but most of all I was bored so I made it lol. It simply makes a character walk left or right and face the correct direction. Code is short but heavily commented making it look big. Also pushes a second character when you walk into it. One image file(sprite) is required to use the code.
This is my own way I came up with, might not be the best, but it works!
So no making fun of me when someone comes in and shows me how to do it in 3 lines lol. Anyway, Enjoy
