The current version of Serial Loops only allows you to view character sprites, not edit them, so the documentation here will be sparse. In a future update, Serial Loops will be capable of fully editing character sprites and this documentation will be updated to be more complete.

Overview

A character sprite is a sprite representing a character that is used in dialogue when speaking to that character. Each sprite has three components:

1. A body
2. A mouth (animated for lip movements while speaking)
3. Eyes (animated for blinking)

Character sprites are controlled by the DIALOGUE command in script files.

In Serial Loops

In the current version of Serial Loops, character sprites can be opened so their animations can be viewed. Additionally, they can be exported either as a series of frames (which will be the format for editing them in future versions) or as an animated GIF.
