I think it's funny when people show poor knowledge of English grammar and confidently label their own exposure gap as a flaw.

Maybe it's a bit stuffy or formal, but yes, "the named sequence" is 100% something a real English speaking human would write. And if it's a sequence of frames forming an animation, it can absolutely be a named animation sequence.

I've totally written a phrase like this before.

And in this context, literally yes that's what it sounds like. The .ani file can contain multiple animation sequences that each have a name.

Maybe it's British English? I would use the wording like that. But I'm German. However, a "benannte Animationssequenz" is a perfectly valid construct in German, and doesn't sound weird at all given the context.

Yeah they could be indexed rather than named what's supposed to be the problem here

Uh, that would be a reference to the text at the beginning of that section

> Anything that moves is stored in an .ani file which is a sprite sheet and named animation sequences.
