# Getting Started with SpriteAI
# SpriteAI Documentation

Welcome to SpriteAI! This guide will walk you through the process of integrating the SpriteAI npm package into your projects.
## Overview

## Installation
SpriteAI is a powerful JavaScript library for AI-driven sprite and game asset generation. It provides developers with advanced tools to create, manipulate, and optimize sprite images using cutting-edge AI technologies.

To begin using SpriteAI, you'll need to install it in your project directory. Simply run the following command:
## Installation

```bash
npm install spriteai
```

## Basic Usage
## Core Modules

### 1. Sprite Generation

SpriteAI offers multiple sprite generation methods:

- `generateSprite(description, options)`: Create sprite sheets from text descriptions
- `generateIsometric(description, options)`: Generate isometric game sprites
- `generateCharacterSpritesheet(description, options)`: Create comprehensive character sprite animations

#### Example
```javascript
const sprite = await spriteAI.generateSprite('Pixelated ninja character', {
iterations: 3,
size: '512x512'
});
```

### 2. Advanced Sprite Manipulation

- Sprite transformations
- Color palette optimization
- Animation generation
- Effect application

### 3. AI-Powered Features

- Uses advanced AI models like DALL-E 3 and GPT
- Generates context-aware, high-quality sprite assets
- Supports multiple game development styles and pixel art techniques

Once SpriteAI is installed, you can start leveraging its powerful features in your project. Here's a quick example demonstrating the main functionalities:
## Configuration

### API Configuration
```javascript
const spriteAI = require('spriteai');

// Initialise a new SpriteAI instance
const ai = new spriteAI.SpriteAI();

// Generate a sprite
ai.generateSprite('player', 32, 32)
.then(sprite => {
console.log('Sprite successfully generated:', sprite);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Sprite generation encountered an error:', error);
});

// Load an existing sprite
ai.loadSprite('path/to/sprite.png')
.then(sprite => {
console.log('Sprite successfully loaded:', sprite);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Sprite loading encountered an error:', error);
});

// Save a sprite
ai.saveSprite(sprite, 'path/to/save/sprite.png')
.then(() => {
console.log('Sprite saved successfully');
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Sprite saving encountered an error:', error);
});
spriteAI.configure({
apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
style: 'pixel-art',
defaultSize: '256x256'
});
```

## Key Features
## Performance Considerations

- AI generation may have variable processing times
- Image complexity impacts generation speed
- Consider caching generated sprites for repeated use

## Error Handling

```javascript
try {
const sprite = await spriteAI.generateSprite('Robot character');
} catch (error) {
console.error('Sprite generation failed:', error);
}
```

## Supported Export Formats

- PNG
- WebP
- Base64
- Sprite Sheet JSON

## Licensing

- Commercial use requires valid API credentials
- Respect OpenAI's usage policies
- Attribution may be required for certain generated assets

## Browser & Environment Support

- Node.js (v16+)
- Modern browsers
- Webpack, Rollup, and other module bundlers

SpriteAI offers a range of powerful features to enhance your sprite creation and manipulation:
## Version Compatibility

1. **Sprite Generation**: Utilise `generateSprite(name, width, height)` to programmatically create new sprites.
2. **Sprite Loading**: Easily load existing sprites with `loadSprite(path)`.
3. **Sprite Saving**: Preserve your sprites using `saveSprite(sprite, path)`.
Check `package.json` for the latest compatibility matrix and supported features.
