image structure

Animation frames are stored as XPM files under PET_ASSET_DIR, grouped by state name.

example:

neko/
  idle/
    0.xpm
    ...
    5.xpm
  sleeping/
    0.xpm
    ...
    5.xpm
  walk_north/
    0.xpm
    1.xpm
...

each directory name matches an animation state defined in xpet.h.
frames are loaded in numeric order (0.xpm, 1.xpm, ...) until no more are found
