Welcome
This project will show you how to use Crafty.js to animate Reiner's 2D art.
There are additional projects using Crafty.js and Reiner's Art which can be found at jwalton922.github.io
There is a comment section below, please feel free to post questions there or email me at jwalton922@gmail.com
Motivation
Finding good game art is difficult. There is a lot of good stuff available for free, but rarely is there enough consistent for a game without a lot of (art) work. For example, you probably want animations of different actions like moving, attacking, getting hit, gathering resources, etc. You probably also want your characters to be roughly equal in size. I have not found anything near as complete anywhere else. If there is, I'd really like someone to tell me about it!
There are a lot of game engines out there. I am still fairly new to Craftys.js, but I like that it is open source, free, lightweight, and I figured out how to get it to work with Reiner's 2D art pretty quickly. It also seems to have an active community which is a huge plus.
Getting Started With Reiner's 2D Art
Reiner's 2D art can be found here. Use the menu bar at the top to navigate the different 2D art categories. The art is free to use per the license, please give credit where it's due if you use it!
There is some work to do before immediately using the art. First we need to make some sprite sheets and make the background transparent.
