You can make a simple walking animation by switch-
ing back and forth between these two costumes. however, a
Scratcher named griffpatch has created a series of walking
costumes for the Scratch cat.

griffpatch has also made costumes for standing, jumping,
and falling.

Using these costumes will make the Platformer game look
more polished than using the two simple costumes that the
Cat sprite comes with. We just need to add some animation
code that switches between these costumes at the right time.
griffpatch has created several cool Scratch programs using
these costumes: https://scratch.mit.edu/users/griffpatch/.
11. Add the New Costumes to the Cat Sprite

to add the new costumes, you must upload the costume files
into your Scratch project. You’ll find the eight walking images
and the standing, jumping, and falling images in the resources
ZIp file. the filenames for these images are Walk1.svg, Walk2
.svg, and so on up to Walk8.svg, as well as Stand.svg, Jump.svg,
and Fall.svg.
then, in the Scratch editor, click the Cat sprite’s Costumes
tab. Click the Upload costume from file button next to New
sprite, and select Stand.svg to upload the file. this creates a
new sprite with Stand.svg as its costume.
