Sprite Monkey Junior For Mac

Sprite Monkey Junior is a lightweight tool that enables you to generate simple sprite sheets or strips from existing artwork, as well as create and export sprite coordinate scripts for game engines, Xcode, HTML5, PureBasic and other languages.

The app is based on an earlier version of the more advanced Sprite Monkey. It lacks many of the features included in the latter, such as the ability to edit graphics or create sprite sheets with images of different sizes.

Assuming the artwork you are using has already been prepared, you should make sure all the images have the same dimensions. Otherwise, Sprite Monkey Junior will not be able to process them. You can import an entire folder and, ideally, the files should be sequentially named, to ensure they are loaded in the correct order.

Then, it is a simple matter of customizing the export settings, choosing whether or not a script should be created, and you are good to go.

Sprite Monkey Junior allows you to choose how many columns the sprite sheets should be arranged in, select the desired color depth and customize the background.

The ‘Retina’ option can be checked to have the app divide all sprite coordinates by 2, or you can choose to pad your sprite sheet to the next power of 2.

The application includes several example scripts that can help you figure out how the built-in editor works. You can, of course, create new ones and save them as presets that can be used when exporting sprite sheets.

Sprite Monkey Junior is a good choice if you need a no-nonsense tool for creating sprite sheets and strips. It comes equipped with a script editor, but can only process image files of identical dimensions.
