Time for action — adding animation

Our model can move but it isn't animated yet, let's change this.

1. The FrameListener needs two animation states:

   Ogre::AnimationState* _aniState;
   Ogre::AnimationState* _aniStateTop;
   

2. To get the animation states in the constructor, we need a pointer to the entity:

   MyFrameListener(Ogre::RenderWindow* win,Ogre::Camera* cam,Ogre::Viewport* viewport,Ogre::SceneNode* node,Ogre::Entity* ent)
   

3. With this pointer we can retrieve the AnimationState and save them for later use:

   _aniState = ent->getAnimationState("RunBase");
   _aniState->setLoop(false);
   _aniStateTop = ent->getAnimationState(«RunTop»);
   _aniStateTop->setLoop(false);
   

4. Now that we have the AnimationState, we need to have a flag in the frameStarted function, which tells ...
