i wanna use sprites image and i could make or show sprites on win7, how to make codea’s HD sprites from them on win7? photoshop?
Hi @firewolf,
You need to use a graphics package and save your sprite as a jpg or png file. I use Xara and Gimp2.

thanks, if i have sprites in a jpg screen shot on win7, how to make codea’s HD sprites from them on win7? photoshop?
Hi @firewolf,
Simplest way - if you are familiar with photoshop, is to is to load the screenshot into your graphics package and cut out the areas you need for the sprite. Save the cut image as a new jpg or export to png and load that up.
Another way would be for you to load the screenshot into an image file within codea and then use the image:clip() function to read it from the screenshot - you will of course need to know the coordinates. Try using the screenshot as a background image in codea, display the touch coordinates in the corner then you can approximate the sprite coordinates/size. I find this is better done through loveCodea on a PC with a mouse - I usually use that for sprite postioning and sizing etc.
There are manu Codea users here who have provided spritesheet utilities to grab the sprites from the screenshot/main image. Try searching for spritesheet in the forum.
Hope that helps.
