Sprite Animation and Level Creation Tools
This section describes a variety of tools for creating sprite animations and levels in your own games
to give them that extra polish and visual appeal.
Platforms

This is a tool that takes individual frames and creates a single sprite sheet texture that contains
these frames. SpriteHelper goes a little beyond by also including the ability to set the physics object

. Corona SDK is presently the only framework that
SpriteHelper natively supports. However, it is rather easy to adapt SpriteHelper for use with Gideros
Studio or Moai. SpriteHelper is available only via the Mac App Store. It's also available as a free lite
version that has limited functionality, but is good enough for testing out the product.
