Pixel Lide (Pixel art/ animations!)

Lide studios presents: Pixel Lide

Thing is that it’s kinda… incomplete. But it works good enough so far. I’m still working on adding some features. Here’s how it works:

Where’s the project?
Here it is:


I won’t share the Wick file since I’m still working on it.


Shortcuts

< = Go to left frame
> = Go to right frame (create new frame if a right frame doesn’t exist)
enter = play/ pause animation
ctrl+z = undo
escape, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, - = Selecting color (ONLY WORKS when in color mode 1 (doesn’t work when using sliders))
+ = Add new frame

Believe it or not, it took forever in order to make the project work this fast ._.
Yes, I tried it, it is possible to animate with this thing.
The project can still run slow if your animation is too complex or big.
Also, I did try creating some stuff with it (as you saw in the video)

Here’s an animation of a pigeon flying:






The animation is supposed to loop

I’ll draw & share more stuff with it soon.
I would be really happy to see what you guys can make with this!

Enjoy :)

you use replit.com too :D

Can you send me the github link so I can host it for you

you should have made it 720 p or something but it is still pretty good

Yes, I used repl.co for this and other projects that I created

Idk how github works, I rarely use it ._.

Then can you put it in a https://jsfiddle.net/ or https://gist.github.com/?

Thanks, I’ll check these out rn
I’ll let you know if I’ll “accomplish” anything

No but you can just copy and paste the code

or can you just put the code here?

Thnx :)

The code is too long to paste here, here’s the html file
New Pixel Animator3-17-2021_17-21-52.html (2.2 MB)
(I’m surprised the file is big enough to upload here)

EDIT:
I just made edits to the site and fixed the bug where pixels would be placed when your talking with Blob.

Wow, I haven’t have the time to try it until now… great project @Hamzah_Alani. One of the best wick projects that I have ever seen.

Here is what I was able to make with no effort.

Is there a way to export the animation?

Thanks @Jovanny
(you’re drawing looks great!)

Sadly, no, there isn’t a way to export the animation
(You can use a screen recorder instead)


Exporting animations (into gifs or mp4s) is going to be difficult to have.

Currently, I’m planning to add a way to have projects saved (and shared with people) so no one loses their work after closing the tab.

You know how the https://beepbox.co/ urls are really long because they have the song in them? Maybe that’s how you can export, like https://pixellide.web.app/1-4x5--2-4x7, or https://pixellide.web.app/framenumber-coordinates

That is exactly what I was thinking.

Currently I have all the pixels saved in an array of clones
(open Pixel Lide, place some pixels, click control + [, and type “alert(project.CloneArray)” to see project code)

I’m planning to have that code (with some adjustments) used to find a project
