p3dss - the spritesheet handling library for Panda3D

Spritesheet handling library for Panda3D

p3dss

Description:

p3dss is a spritesheet handling library, initially started as part of my WIP game a2s3. Since its beginning, I've added quite a few features and detached all parts that made it game-specific, so now its possible to use it in literally any project. It also has been relicensed under more permissive license, so now its possible to use it in proprietary projects too.

Dependencies:

This project depends solely on panda3d and nothing else.

Limitations:

1. I've only tested this with .png images, but theoretically every texture format supported by panda3d itself, should work. For as long as its static image and not something already animated (gif, etc).

2. Because this library's spritesheet handling mechanism is based on setting offsets, rather than cutting image in memory, following limitations apply:

• Spritesheet has to divide to provided sprite size without remainder. If it doesnt cut to perfect sprites, you will get strange results while using some of these (e.g blurry parts, parts of other sprite visible on previous and such)
• Amount of sprite rows and columns must be the power of 2. Otherwise you will get glitches described above

Usage:

• Install library with setup.py
• Check usage examples
