How do you make animation like when you press right to make your person go right it will instead of just sliding to the right it will look like its walking that way.

The simple way is to make a bunch of images, one for each step of the animation, and then rotate over them as the character moves.
There's also a number of libraries that can do this for you, like
Anim8 and
AnAL

love.graphics.quads are the thing the libraries are using but the libraries makes it much easier

I'm hopelessly addicted to libraries. Will AnAL work with 0.9.0?
Come to think of it, I could just test 0.9.0 on my Windows system.

no, they have to update it because they have changed the name for quads and some other things.

They kept the old Quad functions I believe, they just changed (and expanded) the underlying architecture. The library should keep working.

That is good to know. Backwards compatibility rocks out.
