Hi, it seems that I’ve made a typo in my past topic regarding animation not working. So, again, i have decided to fix some animation here and there, and I’ve ran into a problem where my animation completely stops working when i start a new level. Can someone help me out with this? Please know that this is due tomorrow for my school so any help soon will be appreciated.  
Here is the code in question: [https://arcade.makecode.com/S49194-82501-20610-37465](https://arcade.makecode.com/S49194-82501-20610-37465)

highly recommend using the character animation extension, it’s in the default list when you click extensions.  
btw to use it just run it on start, don’t do anything funky with the on left/right button pressed
