yes! 

The retail version of SPRANIM-KIT has the ability to export animation data and import it into your Pico-8 game cart.
Animation data uses the MAP area.

The procedure for exporting and importing animation will be a little longer (it would be easier if you could paste animation data directly from the clipboard...).

  • 0. Export the animation data as text in advance. It would be a good idea to import the sprite sheet in advance as well. (This time we will use the attachment file.)
  • 1. Select +MAP from the FILE UTILITY button. (The rectangle selection code will be copied to the clipboard.)
  • 2. Paste and run into the console of the new cart.
  • 3. The MAP area will be displayed, so select the rectangle where you want to paste the animation.
  • 4. Return to SPRANIM-KIT and paste the rectangle data. (Steps 2 and 3 are not necessary if you directly input the rectangle value.)
  • 5. Now that the data import code has been copied to the clipboard, run it in the cart from step 2.
  • 6. DROP FILE will be displayed, so drop the animation data.txt.

This completes the import to another cart.You can also copy the sample code to play that animation. (FILE UTILITY -> +CODE)
