The image assets are meticulously organized into subfolders representing specific actions: img_0 for idle standing, img_1 for walking left, img_2 for walking right, and crucial interaction sets like img_3 for hanging from the top of a window, img_4 for climbing down the side, and img_5 for falling. More advanced templates include img_6 for dragging the character, img_9 for a "ukemi" (landing) pose, and even img_11 for replication—the act of creating a new Shimeji. Each image is typically a PNG file with transparency, and the frame count determines the smoothness of the animation.
