Sprite Animator

Sprite animation editor based on the Thor library extension to SFML.

Features

Sprite Animator is an easy and flexible editor which allows you to create animations in a matter of seconds. The editor is built upon the animation module from Thor and has support for:

• Sprite sheet selection
• Grid generation for sprite sheets based on tile size
• Export animation data directly to animation files

How-to

Setting up:

• Build the provided Visual Studio 2017 solution (sln) as x86 (Debug)
• Copy the contents of the dll folder to your Debug folder
• Run the program

How-to integrate

• Add json to your project include settings
• Add SpriteAnimator.hpp and SpriteAnimator.cpp to your project

Example code

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window/Event.hpp>
#include <SFML/System/Clock.hpp>
#include <loader/SpriteAnimator.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "Animation");
    sf::Clock clock;
    sf::Sprite sprite;
    sf::Texture spriteSheet;
    px::SpriteAnimator animator;

    // Prepare sprite
    spriteSheet.loadFromFile("src/res/sprites/orc.png");
    sprite.setTexture(spriteSheet);
    sprite.setPosition(sf::Vector2f(400.f, 300.f));

    // Load animations
    animator.loadAnimation("src/res/data/up_orc.anim");
    animator.loadAnimation("src/res/data/left_orc.anim");
    animator.playAnimation("left_orc", true);

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;

        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }
		
        // Update animation system
        animator.update(sprite, clock.restart());

        window.clear();
        window.draw(sprite);
        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}

Remarks

• The Thor animation module have been slightly modified as crucical functionality was missing for the editor
• These changes can be found in AnimationMap.hpp and AnimationMap.inl
• If you want to use these files you can also uncomment removeAnimation(...) in SpriteAnimator.hpp

Limitations

• Support is limited to one spritesheet
