Cloning Instructions

Pixelorama uses Godot 4.3, so you will need to have it in order to run the project. Older versions will not work. As of right now, most of the code is written using GDScript, so the mono version of Godot is not required, but Pixelorama should also work with it.

Features:

• A variety of different tools to help you create, with the ability to dynamically map each one on the left and the right mouse buttons with a single click.
• Animation support with a timeline composed of layers and frames, with onion skinning, frame tags and the ability to draw while the animation is playing.
• Pixel perfect mode for perfect pixel lines.
