setCamera( { 0, 10, 10 }, { 0, 5, 0 } )
animID = 7 // the robot
animLength = animationLength( colin, animID )
animFrame = 0
loop
    clear()
    animFrame = animFrame + 1/60
    if animFrame >= animLength then
        animframe = 0
    endIf
    updateAnimation( colin, animID, animFrame )
    drawObjects()
    printAt( 0, 0, "length: ", animLength, " frame: ", animFrame )
    update()
