Edit:

Let's see, we've got 16x16 placeholders, and 12x12 placeholders.  So, that means we need...

6x6?

Yeah, I think we need all kinds of weird resolutions. 7x13, maybe? What kind of prejudice people have against odd resolutions?

Also, Ben made me LOL...

Cool! I love the wizards and warriors.  Seems there are more tile artists just arting for the sake of art than I had originally thought...

Actually odd number pixel width/height are nice for sprites (not so much for tiles, makes checkerboard dither hard) -- Sometimes it's nice to have a pixel row or column that's exactly in the center.

I went with 6x6 for the example tileset because it'll be included in a tool, and I wanted it to be clearly not copyright-able (6x6 was the smallest I could make stuff and still be identifiable). 6x6 = 36pixels @ 16 colors = 18 bytes.  One could trademark such a thing (like the Space Invaders' Aliens), but clearly it's fair use / fair dealings for 18 bytes of data...

Nice 6 x 6 and 16 x 16 graphics guys!

People will have a choice of sizes for their games anyway..

Sure, here you go!



Back in the 80's computers came with a language to code in installed (usually BASIC, sometimes Lisp),
but in Windows 2000 Microsoft stopped including QBASIC. Many hobbyists were PO'd that they'd have to buy a compiler. To prove that you could make games with only the default software installed in Win2K (sound recorder, IE, notepad, paint) I made Snack-Man.

I didn't realize the walls were 11x11 until it was too late, so the ghosts and the snacker are 33px...  Everything's way over saturated primary colors because MSPaint, 1-off project, and me being new to pixel art. The dots are cookies and power pellet is a pill -- How else could you "eat ghosts" unless you were heavily medicated?

Why would anyone want to create a Pac-Man clone nowadays?  Well, it's a great project for learning A* path finding, esp. since you already know how the game rules are supposed to work.  Anyway, I had the image laying around for when I ever remake that old game in HTML5 as part of a 'Learn to code via Games' tutorial.

I may add stuff that's not as essential (like animation frames)

I'm a huge fan of this style of low res, prototyping sprite sheet, but people rarely do even simple 2-4 frame basic animations for any of the characters monsters.  This is generally ok for turn based games, but it can be hard to make a decent feeling platformer without some basic animation.

TLDR, please include animation frames if you're going to make some!

also nobody took that to make a delver texture pack?

I extended some of the 12x12 placeholder tiles to create a placeholder tileset that's compatible with my HTML5 implementation of Marching-Squares.





The template pattern is included so folks can extend the tile gradient.  There's a transparent border to help with placement; Sometimes the similar tiles blend into one another.

I'm writing a blog post that explains the tile layout / tile selection logic.
