I've so many questions. Like how would one go about, or is it possible to, alter the type of gait? Like, changing the movementspeed makes the run a sprint, or a dog trot, but how could you make a walk (a gait where both feet touch the ground at one point) or a zombie walk ( one leg doesn't move/drags)?

There is a gait variable that you should play with. You'll find that the default function I am using will look good walking or running. You may want to decrease the amount of "bounce" in the body parts though too.

For a dragging leg, just point it at a static point behind the movement direction - i.e. don't use the counting function to animate it.

I may not have enough knowledge in trig to get any personality with this approach, at least with character animations. Another issue is I'm looking to make a 2D platformer and this seems to be geared towards a faux 3D. Still pretty cool though.

That's fair enough! You should be able to adapt it to 2D platformer though. In that instance the only facing and moving directions of the legs are going to be either 0 degrees (right) or 180 degrees (left)
