<b>ASEPRITE</b> is an open source program to create animated
|
2010-02-28 00:28:14 +00:00
|
|
|
sprites. Sprites are little images that can be used in your website
|
|
|
|
|
or in a video game. You can draw characters with movement, intros,
|
|
|
|
|
textures, patterns, backgrounds, logos, color palettes, isometric
|
|
|
|
|
levels, etc.

What makes ASEPRITE different? It focuses on pixel editing, to do
|
2010-02-28 00:28:14 +00:00
|
|
|
pixel-art. Indeed, it isn't a photo retouching tool or a vector
|
|
|
|
|
graphics editor. Mainly it is a tool to create tiny animations
|
|
|
|
|
pixel-by-pixel.
