Pixi is an cross-platform open-source pixel art editor and animation editor written in Zig.

• Typical pixel art operations. (draw, erase, color select)
• Create animations and preview easily, edit directly on the preview.
• View previous and next frames of the animation.
• Set sprite origins for drawing sprites easily in game frameworks.
• Import and slice existing .png spritesheets.
• Intuitive and customizeable user interface.
• Sprite packing

• The user interface is driven by Dear Imgui which should be familiar to many.
• The general layout takes many ideas from VSCode, as well as general project setup using folders.

  • Possibly .pyxel and .asesprite import
  • Export to .zig to directly use in Zig frameworks
  • .gif support
• Palettes
• Tiles
• Possibly much more
