AppGameKit Studio – The Animation Sheet Editor

About This Content

The Animation Sheet Editor ( AnimShed ) is a dedicated, easy to use and powerful sprite sheet packer, allowing you to quickly compress a number of single images into one sprite sheet.

AnimShed is for anyone developing 2D animated games and is geared towards developing with both AppGameKit Classic and AppGameKit Studio by TheGameCreators. AnimShed has specific copy and paste functions so you can insert the code directly into your AppGameKit software proejcts. This doesn’t stop you using the simple and quick interface to create Sprite sheets for other game creating software. Automation, ease of use and time saving features are the top features of AnimShed as many of the features that you would usually have to manually do with other packages are automated or very easy to implement. You can very easily adjust the size of the sprite sheet at any stage to take into account the size of sprites, adding/deleting and moving sprites, as well as other actions.
