### Pixelorama：开源 Sprite 编辑器


[Pixelorama](https://www.orama-interactive.com/pixelorama) 是 [Orama 互动](https://www.orama-interactive.com/)公司的年轻游戏开发人员创建的一个工具。他们已经开发了一些 2D 游戏，其中一些使用了像素艺术。


虽然 Orama 主要从事于游戏开发，但开发人员也创建实用工具，帮助他们（和其他人）创建这些游戏。


自由开源的<ruby> 精灵 <rt>  Sprite </rt></ruby>编辑器 Pixelorama 就是这样一个实用工具。它构建在 [Godot 引擎](https://godotengine.org/)之上，非常适合创作像素艺术。

你看到上面截图中的像素艺术了吗？它是使用 Pixelorama 创建的。这段视频展示了制作上述图片的时间推移视频。

或者，如果你在 [Linux 发行版上启用了 Snap 支持](https://itsfoss.com/install-snap-linux/)，那么可以使用此命令安装它：



```
sudo snap install pixelorama
```

如果你不想使用 Snap，不用担心。你可以从[他们的 GitHub 仓库](https://github.com/Orama-Interactive/Pixelorama)下载最新版本的 Pixelorama，[解压 zip 文件](https://itsfoss.com/unzip-linux/)，你会看到一个可执行文件。授予此文件执行权限，并双击它运行应用。


* [下载 Pixelorama](https://github.com/Orama-Interactive/Pixelorama/releases)


### 总结

在 Pixeloaram 的功能中，它说你可以导入图像并对其进行编辑。我想，这只是对某些类型的文件，因为当我尝试导入 PNG 或 JPEG 文件，程序崩溃了。


然而，我可以像一个 3 岁的孩子那样随意涂鸦并制作像素艺术。我对艺术不是很感兴趣，但我认为这[对 Linux 上的数字艺术家是个有用的工具](https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-graphic-design-software/)。


我喜欢这样的想法：尽管是游戏开发人员，但他们创建的工具，可以帮助其他游戏开发人员和艺术家。这就是开源的精神。


如果你喜欢这个项目，并且会使用它，请考虑通过捐赠来支持他们。[It’s FOSS 捐赠了](https://itsfoss.com/donations-foss/) 25 美元，以感谢他们的努力。

*Brief: Pixelorama is a cross-platform, free and open source 2D sprite editor. It provides all the necessary tools to create pixel art in a neat user interface.*

## Pixelorama: open source sprite editor

[Pixelorama](https://www.orama-interactive.com/pixelorama) is a tool created by young game developers at [Orama Interactive](https://www.orama-interactive.com/). They have developed a few 2D games and a couple of them use pixel art.

While Orama is primarily into game development, the developers are also creating utility tools that help them (and others) create those games.

The free and open source sprite editor, Pixelorama is such a utility tool. It’s built on top of [Godot Engine](https://godotengine.org/) and is perfect for creating pixel art.

You see the pixel art in the screenshot above? It’s been created using Pixelorama. This video shows a timelapse video of creating the above image.

## Features of Pixelorama

Here are the main features Pixelorama provides:

- Multiple tools like penicl, erase, fill bucket color picker etc
- Multiple layer system that allows you to add, remove, move up and down, clone and merge as many layers as you like
- Support for spritesheets
- Import images and edit them inside Pixelorama
- Animation timeline with
[Onion Skinning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_skinning) - Custom brushes
- Save and open your projects in Pixelorama’s custom file format, .pxo
- Horizontal & vertical mirrored drawing
- Tile Mode for pattern creation
- Split screen mode and mini canvas preview
- Zoom with mouse scroll wheel
- Unlimited undo and redo
- Scale, crop, flip, rotate, color invert and desaturate your images
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Available in several languages

## Installing Pixelorama on Linux

Pixelorama is available as a Snap application and if you are using Ubuntu, you can find it in the software center itself.

Alternatively, if you have [Snap support enabled on your Linux distribution](https://itsfoss.com/install-snap-linux/), you can install it using this command:

`sudo snap install pixelorama`


If you don’t want to use Snap, no worries. You can download the latest release of Pixelorama from [their GitHub repository](https://github.com/Orama-Interactive/Pixelorama), [extract the zip file](https://itsfoss.com/unzip-linux/) and you’ll see an executable file. Give this file execute permission and double click on it to run the application.

**Conclusion**

![Pixelorama](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/03/pixelorama.jpg)

In the Pixeloaram features, it says that you can import images and edit them. I guess that’s only true for certain kind of files because when I tried to import PNG or JPEG files, the application crashed.

However, I could easily doodle like a 3 year old and make random pixel art. I am not that into arts but I think this is a [useful tool for digital artists on Linux](https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-graphic-design-software/).

I liked the idea that despite being game developers, they are creating tools that could help other game developers and artists. That’s the spirit of open source.

If you like the project and will be using it, consider supporting them by a donation. [It’s FOSS has made a humble donation](https://itsfoss.com/donations-foss/) of $25 to thank their effort.
