This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to getting started with SpriteAI and exploring its key features. + +## Installation + +Install SpriteAI in your project using npm: + +```bash +npm install spriteai +``` + +## Core Modules + +### Importing SpriteAI + +```javascript +const spriteAI = require('spriteai'); +// or +import spriteAI from 'spriteai'; +``` + +### Key Functionality + +SpriteAI offers several core modules for sprite creation and manipulation: + +1. **Sprite Generation** + - Generate sprites from text descriptions + - Create pixel art sprites + - Generate character spritesheets + +2. **Sprite Manipulation** + - Load existing sprites + - Save sprites + - Apply transformations + - Create animations + +## Basic Usage Examples + +### Generating a Sprite + +```javascript +const ai = new spriteAI.SpriteAI(); + +// Generate a basic sprite +ai.generateSprite('player character', 32, 32) + .then(sprite => { + console.log('Sprite generated:', sprite); + }) + .catch(error => { + console.error('Sprite generation error:', error); + }); +``` + +### Pixel Art Generation + +```javascript +const pixelArt = await spriteAI.generatePixelArt('retro robot', { + save: true +}); +console.log(pixelArt.url); +``` + +## Advanced Features + +### Sprite Transformations + +SpriteAI supports advanced sprite transformations: + +- Rotation +- Color tinting +- Flipping +- Adding effects +- Generating variations + +### Animation Support + +Create dynamic sprite animations with built-in methods: + +```javascript +const animation = sprite.createSpriteAnimation({ + frames: 6, + speed: 0.5 +}); +``` + +## Performance Considerations + +- AI-powered sprite generation may take a few seconds +- Generated sprites are optimized for game development +- Supports multiple output formats and sizes + +## Error Handling + +Always use try-catch or .catch() when working with asynchronous sprite generation methods: + +```javascript +try { + const sprite = await spriteAI.generateSprite('space alien'); +} catch (error) { + console.error('Sprite generation failed:', error); +} +``` + +## API Reference + +For detailed API documentation, refer to our comprehensive API reference guide. + +## Community and Support + +- Join our developer forums +- Report issues on our GitHub repository +- Contribute to the project + +## Licensing + +SpriteAI is released under [License Type]. Please review the license terms before commercial use. + +## Upcoming Features + +- Enhanced AI sprite generation +- More transformation options +- Improved performance +- Cross-platform compatibility + +## Troubleshooting + +- Ensure API keys are correctly configured +- Check network connectivity +- Verify input parameters +- Review error messages for specific guidance + +## Version Compatibility + +Compatible with: +- Node.js 14.x+ +- Modern web browsers +- TypeScript support + +## Best Practices + +1. Use descriptive input for sprite generation +2. Handle asynchronous operations properly +3. Optimize sprite size and complexity +4. Utilize caching for repeated generations + +## Contributing + +We welcome contributions! Please read our contributing guidelines before submitting pull requests.
