Updated the alien animation code (so when we get some frames) to work - also makes the huggers point in the right direction now. Update the following:

Add the following field to the Alien Type:
Field frameTotal

Alien.bb - Update_Aliens:

		; animation frame control
		If move
			al\fpause = (al\fpause+1) Mod 5
			If al\fpause = 0 Then 
				al\frame = (al\frame+1) Mod al\frameTotal
			End If	
		EndIf

and update Alien.bb - Spawn_Alien:

	al\kind = kind
	Select kind
		Case 0: ; standard alien
			al\radius=20
			al\offset=32
			al\frameTotal = 1
		Case 1: ; face hugger
			al\radius=20
			al\offset=16
			al\frameTotal = 2
	End Select

To get the hugger animating, I rotated each of the second frames 2 degrees - looked pretty good.
