Moonwalk

Glide backward while facing forward. Use a root translation (NOT moveTo, which would turn the body to face its travel) so the character keeps facing ahead, and shuffle the feet between flat and on-the-toes.

How

• Slide back with root x/z each frame, moving OPPOSITE the current facing (faceDeg 0 -> decrease z; compute from state.position/state.faceDeg).
• Alternate the feet: one toe down (*Foot:[60,0,0]) while the other is flat ([90,0,0]), swapping each frame for the iconic shuffle.
• Do NOT set faceDeg — staying put keeps it facing forward as it slides.

Example

• "do the moonwalk" (facing +Z from origin) -> {"durationMs":2600,"say":"Hee-hee!","sequence":{"loop":2,"frames":[{"t":0,"pose":{"LeftFoot":[60,0,0],"RightFoot":[90,0,0]},"root":{"z":-0.6}},{"t":0.5,"pose":{"LeftFoot":[90,0,0],"RightFoot":[60,0,0]},"root":{"z":-1.2}},{"t":1,"pose":{"LeftFoot":[60,0,0],"RightFoot":[90,0,0]},"root":{"z":-2}}]}}
