ASE - Allegro Sprite Editor

===================================
INTRODUCTION
===================================
ASE is a program specially designed with facilities to create
animated sprites that can be used in computer games. You can
create static images, characters with movement, textures,
patterns, backgrounds, logos, color palettes, tiles, etc.
What makes ASE different? It focuses on pixel editing, to do
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.
