# SpriteAI Documentation

## Overview

SpriteAI is a powerful npm package designed to simplify sprite generation, manipulation, and management using advanced AI technologies. 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);
}
```
