Dear Ludum Darerers,

I suppose all of you (or at least a lot) know about Dr Petters excellent SFXR application so Jonny D and I have decided to (specially for Ludum Dare) create an application called GFXR! Yes, that’s right! A Random Graphics Generator =D

In my attempt of making something (altough it was mostely a joke) I create PEx. Jonny D however was inspired to actually give the idea a go, and so the GFXR project was born.

We personally invite you to help in on this project, to make sure it sattisfies all your LD needings. If through coding or even only brainstorming, every help is gratefully accepted! This project is made for you, so your oppinion is highly valued! ^^

Don’t be afraid, please give us a hand and leave your thoughts in our Brainstorming section right here: clicky =D

Cheers,

~Igor

Dear Ludum Darerers,

Are you tired of programmer art? Don’t you hate making sprites? Well, here’s the Solution: Pixel Extravaganza! PEx is an application which creates EVERY possible sprite EVER possible with 4×4 Pixels! All you have to do is press SPACE when you see one you want! PEx will save 3 different sizes of the selected sprite and put it in the \sprites folder! :O If you want a completely different sprite, press ENTER to randomize all colours! If you think it’s going to slow or to fast just press the UP or DOWN arrow key to adjust the speed! Marvellous isn’t it?

Okay, the shouty-add part is over. Now a little more serious. I found Dr Petter’s SFXR which can be used to create any retro game sound you want. So I thought…Mmmm, can’t that be done with sprites too? Well, the answer is obviously no.  Still, this is what I made and I wanted to share it just for the fun of it’s ridiculousness. Maybe it could be used to inspire graphix or ideas for a Mini-LD? But mostly it should be used to laugh at and then be forgotten again! ^^
