⭐ Starforge is a pixel art & animation studio that runs in your browser.

Yesterday I said those numbered cells at the bottom of the screenshot were today’s story. Here they are: every cell is a frame with its own duration in milliseconds, play runs the reel on the document’s own clock, and since today, the frame you’re drawing shows its neighbours behind it as ghosts. The star that greets you is a loop with 4 frames now, so you can already see the animation.

Receipts:

• 527 green tests
• 3 recompositions parked with ghosts on
• three new end-to-end tests in a real browser

Next: I’m writing a GIF encoder from scratch. By hand. :D
