UnityCsReference VS aseprite

I've checked their CS reference code on their Github, both here and here, but I want to dive a little deeper - specifically, I want to know what they're actually doing when determining validity of the Matrix4x4.

Yep, but beyond just decompiling it, the c# layer of code is on GitHub: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/master/Runtime/Export/Scripting/UnityEngineObject.bindings.cs (after 2019.1)

The code where the method filtering for the Animation Event Inspector is done, is here (line 190). Is it possible to do something like this? That repository explicitly says:

No reason, you can look at the source of encapsulate

There isn't really a straight forward way to do this, even the QualitySettings editor uses Serialised Properties to get at the data. (Line 343 in QualitySettingsEditor)

This is awesome, thank you! I'm most curious about their Runtime

I think if you want to get into graphics programming you do want to work with OpenGL and similar things, because at the very least you need to understand it all (and decide what parts of engines to use and what to ignore when you get to whole games). It's also worth saying that while you can only publicly get the references in Unity you do get source access at the higher subscription tiers you'd use at a game studio.

Aseprite is free if you compile it yourself [0], and can still be used for commercial purposes if compiled this way [1]. But I recommend buying it anyway to support the project.

Nitpick: Aseprite is source-available, not open source by the Open Source Initiative's definition. From the Aseprite EULA [1]:

> (g) Source code.

> You may only compile and modify the source code of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for your own personal purpose or to propose a contribution to the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.

The OSI's definition of open source [2] requires distribution of unmodified and modified copies (with the exception of lone, unmodified copies; I read somewhere that writing a hello world program is a workaround):

> 1. Free Redistribution

> The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

...

> 3. Derived Works

> The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.

"free software" is ambiguous to English speakers/writers, but "open source" is ambiguous in its own way.

That's not because you didn't know about it that it is a "new trend"

It's nothing new, and also exist in the tooling side of things

This is specifically targeted for Aseperite users, and also makes use of a great tool called TexturePacker by CodeAndWeb. Andreas from CodeAndWeb always helps me out when I email them, and the software itself is awesome, so I figured I'd give it a boost.

Are you on macOS? There is a known issue that we've just fixed and released a new version with the fix today as v1.3-rc7 (we're going to publish some release notes in the following days).

I'd never used Aseprite before, but it was luckily pretty straightforward to copy and paste and slightly edit the knight into a little spritesheet!

I modeled this simple computer in Blender and used the Pribambase plugin to create an animated texture for it with aseprite. I keyframed the animation in Blender and it works perfectly there.

One of my favorite "MS Paint" clones is KolourPaint[1]. I've been using it for over a decade (you have to search around to get it on non-linux platforms but I presently have it on MacOS). One of my favorite features is how it handles transparency, where it's just treated like another "color".

If anyone is heavy into pixel art, you may also be interested in Aseprite[2].
