INTRODUCTION
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
ASE (Allegro Sprite Editor) is an open source program to create
|
|
animated 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 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.
