Sprite Maker

The sprite library contains a small Flask app you can run to assist with making sprites.

Example:

python3 tickytacky/sprite.py

Then open http://0.0.0.0:5000/ to start using the sprite maker.

1. Select colors from the large color button. It's an HTML5 color selector, so it will use your system's color picker to select any color.

2. Click the "Create Color option" to add it to the palette.

3. Choose that color from the palette options and draw with it. By default, the color name will show as undefined, but you can change that in the text box.

4. If you remove a color from the palette, all pixels with that color will also be removed.

5. When done drawing, name the sprite and click the "Export" button. This will create a new page which will show the JSON format for the sprite you drew.

6. Copy that info into a JSON file in your game.
