-#
-# A script to pack individual animation sequence frames for a set of
-# components into a single large image for each action sequence for
-# each component.  The resulting images are added to a zip archive to
-# facilitate transmission from one place to another.
-#
-# The animation frames are expected to be stored one per file, and
-# represent each component viewed in each of the 8 cardinal compass
-# directions (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) for each action sequence.
-# Current action sequences are "standing" and "walking".
-#
-# For now, animation frame image file names are required to conform to
-# the following format:
-#
-# M_<component abbreviation>_Cam0[1-8]_000<0-6>.png
-#                                  ^        ^
-#                                  |        |
-#                             orientation frame
-#                                         index
-#
-# The standing action sequence has only 1 frame of animation for each
-# orientation.  The image is expected to be in the file for frame
-# index 0.
-#
-# The walking action sequence has 6 frames of animation for each
-# orientation.  The images are expected to start at frame index 1,
-# with other frames following.
-#
-# Accordingly, there should be a total of 56 image files for each
-# component (8 frames for standing, and 48 frames for walking.)
