Hi All.
New update on the Sprite Editor. More refactoring and code cleaning and 2 very useful features added. Read bellow (and see the images).
- Preview window for sprite and mask.
You can now see the sprite in a very small window. This will help you to have a better perspective of how the real sprite will look. You can also see the mask being generated in real time (read more bellow). And if you do play the animation, preview windows also animate.
You can enable / disable the preview windows in the View menu.
- Export to UDG (DATA statements).
Are you drawing with BASIC in mind? Not to worry, you can now export top decimal DATA statements, to be used directly by BASIC. Project menu, Export option.

- Mask automatic generation support
Don't worry about the sprite mask, it's done automatically. On the fly. You can also configure, 3 types of mask (available in sprite properties): Tight, Medium or Large. Check the examples bellow.
