Thought I'd share a tool I made for myself.

Working without a game engine, I always run into the problem of trying to create animations out of spritesheets manually and to my frustration never found a free tool to help.

So I decided to make one!

Spritron allows you to define animations on one or multiple spritesheets and then either export each animation separately as an image alongside some animation data, or export a json with instructions on how to reconstruct all the defined animations. 

The exports are explained in more detail in the in-app docs and some code that reads and uses the exports is provided there too (Click on the questionmark on the top right and go from there).

You can also use spritron to create a new spritesheet that combines multiple other spritesheets or that simply suits your needs better.

Let me know if you find bugs.

Hope this is helpful to someone!
