Sprite Editor made in LÖVE

Post by tavuntu »

Hi everyone :)

A few moths ago I had a misfortune publishing a vaporware IDE for löve here in the forum (not proud of it). This time I'm doing a little sprite editor,
it's not finished yet (lacks many things) but here's a preview:

I get "inpired" from this one:

I'm not an expert in löve, any tip would be great :3


EDIT: I forgot to show some of the controls:

Ctrl+ left or right arrow = change frame
Ctrl + A = add frame
G = show/hide grid

in the save page there's a pseudo-textfield, it doesn't work perfectly.

I'll be updating the .love file in dropbox.

Do you have any features planned to make the tool stand out from alternatives like Tile Studio or GraphicsGale?

I haven't used these programs :/ I'm just trying to do something simple but easy to use, I'm thinking in some useful functions for the program but I don't really know if there are already in the programs you said.

It's very pretty :D

The dots in the background mean transparency?

You should probably add some confirmation when the image was saved. It works well, but it didn't show "image saved", so I didn't know if it was done...

Yes, the dots are to show transparency and yes, I haven't solved a lot of things like the "file saved" indicator but I'm working in these and other aspects right now. And thanks, I'm glad you liked :)

Very excited to see where you go with this. Does it have it's own independent file format or can you open/save with the usual JPEG/JPG, PNG, BMP, etc?

For the moment, it only works with png images and not with a special type of file (for the editor, the animation is 2 files together, the png image and a text file with the info). Here's the first update I made a few days ago:
