Brainiac Sprite Maker on the way!!
Finally I am able to chunk out a sprite maker for Brainiac engine.It is half-way finish now and I am hoping to finish it before end of next week. Features currently implemented:
- packing images into sprite with 2 options: optimized for VRAM usage and minimized image output count (VRAM optimization can be better but current one is not bad either given time and effort went into it)
- Pivot and additional prop pivot setup
- some frame manipulation tools
- animation preview mode where user can add another prop to test prop pivot offsets.
Things still need to implement:
- scale back the image when loading if it is scaled outside the program (by Photoshop etc)
- Some pivot alignment tools
- Add support for Alpha buffer
- Add support for Hit-testing buffer
- Add support for Mask buffer(s)
- Support loading of 8-bit images
- implement various animation methods
- shadow and reflection options
OK half-way finished now! Need to implement the other half. After it is finished, I will write the Brainiac font generator.
