raylib-aseprite

Load Aseprite .aseprite and .ase files for animated sprites in raylib.

Features

• Load Aseprite files directly for use in raylib
• Draw individual frames
• Load and draw Aseprite tags as sprite animations
• Support for Forwards, Backwards, and Ping-Pong animations
• Adjust tag animation speed by using tag.speed
• Pause tag animations by using tag.pause
• Toggle whether animations will continue when they finish with tag.loop
• Load Aseprite slice rectangles for collisions and bounds

Usage

This is a header-only library. To use it, define RAYLIB_ASEPRITE_IMPLEMENTATION in one .c source file before including raylib-aseprite.h. You will also have to link the raylib dependency.

Example

The below is a basic example, see the examples folder for more.

#include "raylib.h"

#define RAYLIB_ASEPRITE_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "raylib-aseprite.h"

int main() {
    InitWindow(640, 480, "Aseprite Example");

    // Load the George Aseprite file.
    Aseprite george = LoadAseprite("resources/george.aseprite");

    // Load the Walk Down tag.
    AsepriteTag walkdown = LoadAsepriteTag(george, "Walk-Down");
    walkdown.speed = 2; // Double the animation speed.

    while(!WindowShouldClose()) {
        // Update the animation frame.
        UpdateAsepriteTag(&walkdown);

        BeginDrawing();
        {
            ClearBackground(RAYWHITE);

            // Draw the first frame from the George sprite.
            DrawAseprite(george, 0, 100, 100, WHITE);

            // Draw the Walk Down animation.
            DrawAsepriteTag(walkdown, 200, 100, WHITE);
        }
        EndDrawing();
    }

    // Clean up the George aseprite.
    UnloadAseprite(george);

    CloseWindow();
    return 0;
}

Development

To build the example locally, and run tests, use cmake.

git submodule update --init
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
cd examples
./raylib-aseprite-example

This uses cute_aseprite.h to handle loading the aseprite file. Thank you to Randy Gaul's cute_headers for making this all possible.
