|
|
Doodad sprites can be drawn using any image editor and saved as .png files
|
|
|
|
|
(with transparency). You can then create a doodad file from your series of
|
|
|
|
|
PNG images.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the built-in doodads that ship with the game were created in this way.

|
## Create a Doodad from Images
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Save each frame of your doodad as a separate PNG image and then use the `doodad`
|
|
|
|
|
command-line tool to convert them to a `.doodad` file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
# Usage:
|
|
|
|
|
doodad convert [options] <inputs.png> <output.doodad>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Example:
|
|
|
|
|
doodad convert door-closed.png door-open.png door.doodad
|
|
|
|
|
```

|
|
|
|
|
The `doodad` tool can also be used to attach a JavaScript to your doodad,
|
|
|
|
|
modify its tags, and other things. See [`doodad` tool](../doodad-tool.md).
