Is there an extension or tutorial that helps with making sprites face four different directions when moving? For example, making a sprite that has its back to the player when moving up, faces the player when moving down, and looks left or right when going left or right (like an old school Zelda game)?

I thought I saw something like that a while ago, but I can’t find it anymore.
