Description
Sprite Something is a drawing, animation and tilemap application for pixel artists and game developers. Draw multiple frames individually, then quickly drag and drop frames into an animation, or use your frames to draw tilemaps for your game levels. Export your creations to PNG, animated GIF's and CSV files (tilemaps).History
Sprite Something was created out of the need for a pixel editor to easily create multiple frames and export spritesheets. Drag and drop animation was added to one of the early updates, as well as GIF export. Later, Tilemap creation was added so users could do more with their pixel artwork. The latest update (2.01) adds iCloud, Dropbox and Photo Library support, new tools and tool options, and better UI navigation flow.Features
