Hi! I think this is such a great tool... except that it doesn't seem to work for me. In the paint & room box, all it is showing me is a black screen within the window, with no options to edit or make samples of pixel art for the room, sprite, etc. Even animation button won't dropdown or show frames. I even downloaded the offline editor but it seems to not work for me either. Hope you can help? Thank you!
Hi Neru,
Sorry to hear that. This was a bug when 8x8 sprite data found its way into the editor - but I guess I haven't fully solved it. It works on my end, so I assume this is something to do with the browser data.
What I can recommend is trying those steps, one should solve them:
- Refresh your browser window (F5)
- Force refresh the window (CRT+F5)
- Start a new game in bitsy HD
- Click around the GUI in the "blank spaces" between windows and the Sprite window. (I am not sure why this would work, but it did when I was tackling this bug previously - I think it has something to do with refreshing each bitsy panels).
- Try a different browser, preferably one you have not used any bitsy editor in.
- OPTIONAL, because it is more advanced and it can delete some stuff - delete web storage for your browser(s).
If anything else fails and you really want to make a bitsy like game a resolution different than 8x8, try môsi!
It is bitsy-like engine currently under development. It has a little different workflow, but is very similar and more powerful in some aspects. If you have any questions on how to use it, come to bitsy discord and ask around :)
