A mini editor for sprites and fonts
The goal of this tool started as a way for me to create pixel art with a restricted palette and convert it to a string format that I could use in my JS13K games.
The original inspiration for this project came from a similar tool made by @xem called miniPixelArt. I wanted to extend its capabilities and make it more usable, as well as make it export more readable code.
I started on 2023 with the basic functionality. One year later I had to adapt the editor for my new game, which required an even smaller color palette than the original 8 colors, as I was creating a black and white game. The editor and the generated code thus became more flexible.
After the 2024 competition, I realized I could use a similar editor to simplify editing my custom font, and so the mini font editor was born.
