Randomly thinking about something I worked on 10 years ago, going to give it for advice for anyone who's manually #programming a #GameEngine #Sprite based #graphics from scratch...

The most efficient way to draw sprites to a layer is to run-length index them with a colorkey, meaning you have one byte for how many #pixels you're drawing, and one byte referencing the color in that sprite's palette. (#gif does this) You do this with an array of 255 32-bit ints, one per color, and by drawing the sprite in a triple for-loop: i for each line, j for each run, and k each pixel run.

The run value of zero represents the end of a line, and is handled by skipping to the next number in the i loop. The color key of 255 is transparent, and is implemented by simply skipping forward by the run length in the j loop. Otherwise, the k loop memcopies whatever value in your color map array corresponds to the index of the color key directly to the buffer.

It's been a while since I did any pixel art, but this project is going to demand a lot of it, so I need to figure out a good style for the Bitkin. 16 by 16 is the size of a single tile in a stage, and that makes Patch here pretty small. A little too small, I think, but this is a good place to start from. I can also afford to use more colors; this is just 7 (counting transparent) and I can go up to 16.

Quick #DrinkReview - #Sprite 0 Lemon - I always thought that Sprite was supposed to be lemon flavoured, then I tasted a few popular #lemon flavoured drinks in Asia. Now it appears Sprite wants to compete with them… finally.

#O2A2VNJam lost count of the days😅I finished the #sprite expressions and added them, animated, into the #indiegame💖I'm almost done... saving the title drop for last! #o2a2 #vn #visualnovel #horrorgame #renpy

#wadanohara sprite edit. Game so cute.
#met #sprite #edit

Ustedes también aplican o les han dicho que para el malestar estomacal deban el refresco #SPRITE? Pues yo si lo he aplicado y pues si sirve.

#SpriteZeroSugar tastes worse than #Sprite, I have been bamboozled

#O2A2VNJam day 4🌟yesterday I lined and colored the #sprite now all it's left are the expressions!😃
GUI by Skolaztika!😎

Another pixel art event on discord!
Theme was to create a concept for a Mini Platformer!

I think mine was a game about a reindeer who runs as the sun is setting 😅 Pretty much just tried to create something!

@SuperSideshow Okay, just re-listened to the #Eternals podcast and I have to counter several of @Jayslacks's points about #Makkari & #Sprite.

The Eternals were designed to help humans progress. Part of this is to blend in...hence the different races.

Maybe the deafness was also planned as a way for some of the Eternals who couldn't sign to communicate with deaf humans.

With Sprite? She's a storyteller! Easier to listen to a non-threatening smaller-stature being.

'nuff said! 😉

Still super happy about how this sprite turned out when I wanted to give it some lite animation last year, she's never looked better.

It's never too late to showcase the new #sprite for the hero of the game! A wonderful work by
YanKonnin!

Yes, he can now explore and heroically perish with this new graphics!
