Hello, I was wondering how the best way to make a spear like Terraria would be to implement into my game. I made this small example using animations with the image point changing each frame to make it move. It works sort of like stop-motion animation. Is this the most effective way to achieve this?

If possible I would want it to be only one frame and just set angle toward mouse and move forward at that angle for x amount of seconds and then come back. I attempted this with timers, but couldn't figure out how to make it stay in the player's hand but with the offset of it's movement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
