Hello I have decreased the FPS down to 20. But when I did that it may the animation choppy. Is there anyway to smooth out the animation with only 20fps. I appreciate any help

Define "choppy." That's a pretty vague term. I mean, obviously an animation playing at 20 frames per second isn't going to look as smooth as when playing back at, say, 40 frames per second. Are you referring to anything specific when you say "choppy?"

That is because your eyes got used to the higher fps, when you lower it, you can notice it real bad.
Also, have you tried increasing the speed of the animation?

hmmm...Im going to try that...making the animation faster

Blitz is usually pretty fast on a reasonable computer. If you have a reasonable computer, and you're doing 2D, check to see whether you can speed up your code instead of reducing the FPS to 20. :)
