Smoovement.lua is an API that provides some neat animation help, as well as scaling and rotating sprites and parent-child relationships.

Documentation

Also, unlike megaluavania this has a finished documentation as it isn't as expansive, but still super useful imo.

This looks fantastic. A quick question: can I use Sprite.rotation to rotate a player sprite/player sprites?

If you can get the player sprites as a LuaImageResource, you can use them in Smoovement. I dunno if that's already possible though.

Can you create an empty parent object? That is, an object with a transform, but without a sprite associated with it? This could be useful for some complex animations.

I'd also recommend locking off a lot of those variables using metatables. You don't want people altering the parent and child list directly, for example, because that could break the rendering.

Yeah.

Also, that's a good idea. Gonna do that.
