spritesheet_generator

This is a simple program to generate a sprite tilesheet, in png format. For use with software such as Tiled.

This gives you a template to use as a layer in your favourite image editing program, allowing you to create a tilesheet for use in your game.

Installation

go install github.com/tardisx/spritesheet_generator@latest

If you really want binaries, pester me :-)

Usage

Usage of ./spritesheet_generator: -height int base tile height in pixels (default 128) -multiplier int tile height multiplier (default 2) -output string output filename -width int tile width in pixels (default 128) -x int number of tiles across (default 8) -y int number of tiles down (default 8)

Hopefully these options are mostly self-explanatory.

The multiplier option describes how 'tall' the tiles are. Normally you want some height to tiles to give them the illusion of depth and the ability to hide things behind them. If you are unsure, start with the default of 2.
