Random weights for frame transitions about pikov HOT 4 CLOSED

How to represent a weight for the next frame in the clip? Maybe this clip idea should become even a tagging system than part of the actual data structure and every transition is represented by a transition?

I know I want to be able to handle transitions based on events (such as key presses). Is there a more generic way to handle this? I guess since we are defining a default behavior of weight = 1 (as compared to a default of weight 0), random transitions will always take the least precedence.

A thought on the more generic way to handle event-based transitions: think of a transition edge as a function whose range is a probability weight (and I guess the transformed sprite state, too, since transitions should be responsible for x-y-offsets between frames).

The input is the original sprite state and any subscribed-to events that have happened.

Probably we'd want integer priority tiers for event handlers. Try all the event handlers in a priority tier and turn those results into probabilities of which function to actually apply. If all event handlers return 0, then move on to the next tier.
