Excel sprite editor

Post by Turtle_Quality »

Hello, I'd been using this Excel spreadsheet for a while to edit graphics as zeros and 1s and create DEFB commands I could copy into an assembler. I quite like that Excel allows you easily to drag a row of values across columns, or columns across rows to quickly paint a graphic

Today I worked out how to use iterative formulas to allow animation of the graphics designed here, there some brief instructions on the Animate Tests sheet. Each time a cell is updated, the counter in A1 increases by 500 and the animation skips forward to the next frame. It's not very polished but easily adapted for further use

You are not using the proper sharing options. Try setting it to "anyone with the link can view this spreadsheet".

Thanks, done.

Probably stating the obvious, but you need to download it and open with Excel, it's not going to work in Google Drive
