If you want to make games for the Raspberry Pi, why not make them on a Pi? SpookyGhost is an open-source animation tool created by developer Encelo that can animate sprites. According to this post recently shared to Reddit, SpookyGhost officially received a port just for the Raspberry Pi.
SpookyGhost can help artists who need to create a variety of procedural animations for 2D sprites. It provides a GUI designed with Dear ImGui, an open-source C++ library for creating interfaces to adjust pixel color, sprite size, position, and more. Users can also program custom animations using Lua scripts.
Encelo explains in the thread that all input and output are currently handled through PNG file types. The animations produced by SpookyGhost can be exported as separate files for each frame or into one sprite sheet.
