Firstly, check out this exmaple: https://github.com/Stephane-D/SGDK/tree ... ple/sprite
...
Based on the documentation for the rescomp tool (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Steph ... escomp.txt) this line will do the following:
- SPRITE - create a sprite
- sonic_sprite - This is the name of the sprite in your code
- "sonic.png" - The filename/path to the png image to convert to an SGDK sprite
- 6 - Number of columns (there are up to 6 frames per animation)
- 6 - Number of rows (there are 6 animations, one for standing, walking, etc)
- -1 - Use whichever compression it wants
- 5 - Speed for frame advance, the sprite will animate once every 5 frames
except for "6 6" parameters which simply represents the size in tile of the sprite so here for instance the sonic sprite is 6x6 tiles sized (48x48 pixels). The number of frame and number of animation is then automatically computed from the total image size and the basic sprite size =)
