To be a better programmer you have to have an infinite curiosity. Read a lot of other people’s code and ask why something works and was done that way and how it could be improved (code/abstractions are not “absolute truths”).

The skew transformation is so strange, thanks god we have linear algebra at hand. Skew transformation from top/bottom handles modifies skew angle only, but from left/right handles modifies x/width bounds, rotation angle, and skew angle (still WIP)

From an early stage I wanted a pixel editor, a tool to know and edit the values of each pixel, maybe that's why I chose the range 0..255 for Alpha/Opacity (probably a mistake, as people are used to 0%..100%)

Each time you insult a developer, their performance drops to really low levels.
If you want to give some feedback, the best thing you can say is "could I help in something to improve this or to accelerate its release?", so instead of being a jerk you could get access to a beta.

You might have noticed that the performance of the color selector in
@aseprite
is not quite good (🐢❤️) The rendering is done in CPU (in a background thread) and there are no GPU involved (and the internal logic is not designed for such end)

^–^ the next version of Aseprite will include a radial gradient (+dithering); at the moment I guess that a possible radial gradient could be made drawing a white circle over a black background in a RGB sprite, and blur it several times, then converting that images to Indexed

- Export Tileset
- Export Tilemap (what format?)

Edit images from Chrome/clipboard/screenshots: 1) Copy the image from Chrome, 2) Go to
@aseprite
and Ctrl+N to create new file (default size is the clipboard image size), 3) Ctrl+V to paste the image, 4) Edit it and Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C (select all/copy), 6) Ctrl+V on Chrome

Over the years I have had to deal with many cynical people. I would say it's not worth it, sometimes people can't believe that you do things just because you love it, like it or want to.
Wish you all a happy new year, doing whatever you like just because you want to 🍻

Next year I'd like to start recording (streaming? or maybe just uploading) some videos doing pixel-art & programming (C++, Aseprite, Lua, etc.), or maybe just random stuff
What would you like to see?

The history of config files:
.ini: maybe we need a little more
.xml: ok, this is too much
.json: ok, now we need comments back
.yaml: I'm not sure about this python approach

How to be a better programmer: Contribute to an open source project. Follow their rules (not yours). Take feedback and improve. Read code from other people. Learn the basics/good practices. Ask yourself why are you failing and how you can improve on each step.

Question: If you have to export this animation to a GIF file, what the output should be?
A) 1, 7-2, 7-2, 8, 7-2, 7-2, 1, or
B) 1, 7-2, 7-2, 8, 2-7, 2-7, 1

Things to expect on the next version of
@aseprite
for Linux:
- you’ll be able to drop files in the window
- don’t show the title bar on v1.3 subwindows on some WM (KDE, Xfce, etc)
- better performance (?)

There are people that buy Aseprite from Humble Bundle, then redeem the Steam key, and ask for a refund from Humble Bundle. I'll just say that if you do that, the Steam key is deactivated automatically (today 3 keys were deactivated) 🤷♂️

Imagine that cross-platform development is so hard that it's better to integrate a whole browser (Chromium/Electron) instead of using native APIs of each platform, even when that means eating 1GB of RAM just for each new little app

Some caverns, with game boy palette, shading ink, tilemaps, dynamics/pressure sensitivity
I think I'm breaking all pixel art rules (and game boy rules for sure)

Anyway we are refactoring some UI elements step by step to support a more GPU-friendly rendering thanks to Skia (), and the first big step was taken last week incorporating SkSL shaders (Skia shaders that can run in CPU & GPU):

Someday I'll add a vector-based animation tool on

with the only purpose to create cutscenes like Flashback or Another World
Flashback is coming Steam!
Do I see some cutscenes that I never saw before?
(However, I'd appreciate if modern ports were respecting the original pixel art by not applying terrible smoothing filters in their trailers).

Are webdevs really using Tailwind CSS? It looks like HTML / CSS was the perfect separation between structure / style, and Tailwind merged them again (?)
