Pixaxe

Pixaxe is an indexed pixel editor. It aims to be a scriptable, easy-to-use palette-based pixel art editor.

Right now, it's an experiment.

This project will be lightly commercialized by only providing official builds through a platform such as itch.io and maybe optional social services for publishing and sharing pixel art.

Goals

• Image edits are transactional and history is preserved automatically.

  Because everything is indexed, edits can be stored as a "wrapping-add" for the color index to go from the current value to the new value. Edits can be undone by performing a "wrapping-sub" instead.

• Muse scripting is used to:

  • Write custom commands
  • Write custom brushes
  • Write custom layer blending functions
  • Write dynamic layers
  • Define shortcut mappings
