[To the administrators: I would have posted this in the Challenge & Activities forum, but there I cannot open new topics anymore!
Has it something to do with the fact that after actually creating a new thread I gave up by going back to some past page? I have cleared the caches, but still the "new topic" button does not appear??? Sorry...]
Hi all,
I'm new here, so just to be clear right from the start, I'm *not* a pixeller, but a coder! However, I love pixelled graphics so much that occasionally I even dare to put together a few pixels... indeed, sometimes I'm just forced to.
I love and feel comfortable with tiny graphics, so this thread is for those who share this preference. Its aim, in fact, is improving the animation of a sprite I drew back in 1995: it's an 8x16 pixels, 14 colors soldier that walks, turns and shoots in four directions. The only restrictions are that the size must not change and the number of colors must not increase (rather, it should decrease
).
There's lot of room for improvement and I'm eager to see how beautiful you master pixellers will make it become!
