SpriteMaker

Post by LinaInverse »

Small PNG sprite maker (If you like animations in one file) in Visual Basic
(Right)
You can with this small program from image sequence make one big sprite (Like: You have files 01.png, 02.png, 03.png any with 128x128, You can make one big sprite 384x128) I can't explain more, becouse I don't have now time, so sorry.

Wow, this is actually an incredibly useful tool. For my robot-man sprite, the frames were rendered one at a time and output into individual files. This tool assembles them into an animatable sprite for use in LÖVE. See attached image for clarification.

no offence, but I thing you can achieve something similar with the imagemagick tool (some extra options were set for a particular project, so maybe it's possible to have it simpler):

Code: Select all

montage -background "transparent" -depth 8 -type TrueColorMatte image1.png image2.png image3.png ... (or by using an animated gif...) -geometry 15x15 -tile 5x3 -matte -transparent "transparent" -type TrueColorMatte -depth 8 -flip -flop image_spritesheet.png

You can achieve something similar with pretty much anything. :P

However, I guess this is a neat thing to have if you're on Windows and make a lot of sprite sheets.

It may be a .exe, but this is actually a .NET application. And it works under Mono, too.
