Animate like it's 2009!
Modeled after old handheld animation tools, Sketchpad is meant to be fun and easy to use!
- Lo-fi animations with two resolution options.
- Simple to use UI that gets out of your way.
- Powered by Godot 4.6 for lightweight performance on any device.
The easiest way to try Sketchpad is through the PWA, as it is cross-platform and updates automatically.
If you want to use native builds of Sketchpad, feel free to download it from the releases page.
Sketchpad is currently built for Windows and Linux.
Make sure you have the standard edition of Godot 4.6 installed.
- Clone the repository.
- Open Godot and load Sketchpad's
project.godotfile. - For instructions on how to export an executable, consult the Godot documentation.
Sketchpad also uses the GDScript Toolkit for linting and formatting. To install it, use the pip package manager:
pip install "gdtoolkit==4.*"
Once you have it installed, you can run this command in the project folder to verify your contributions follows the GDScript style guidelines:
gdlint $(find . -name "*.gd" -not -path "./addons/*")
Any change will be checked for quality in the build automation, so be sure to check to prevent any extra commits.
Sketchpad makes use of Godot Unit Test (GUT) to test proper functionality. You can run these tests in Godot itself, the command line, or through GUT's VSCode extension.
For contributing to Sketchpad, be sure to follow these guidelines:
- For any major change, design considerations should be made in an issue before implementation.
- Your changes should follow the GDScript style guidelines. The CI builds will halt if any style error is found.
- If you are adding any major new feature, be sure to consider unit testing to verify proper functionality.
- The commit messages should follow the Conventional Commits standard.
