Almost all Defold guides use sprites already cut into pieces and add them to the atlas, ignoring the tilemap and tileset. Tilemap and tileset are only for the map itself and not suitable for sprites or is it a matter of personal preference?
If it is desirable to divide sprites manually, advise a good program.
You can use tile sources for sprites and gui images as well as tilemaps. Using atlases can be more efficient but can be more work, so it does come to your own preference. I personally use tile sources for most things.
Thank you !
Excuse me, do you know any convenient programs to divide spritesheet by sprite ?
You could try this free online service:
Imagemagick (open source) is very powerful and can do anything. With great power comes the command line; this is confusing at first, once you have worked out the required incantation all is good. Although it is a long time since I have used it so I don’t recall details:-)
Very thx !
