+# SpriteAI Quick Start Guide
 
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js (version 14 or higher)
+- npm (Node Package Manager)
+- OpenAI API Key
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install spriteai

+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Generating Character Spritesheets
+
+```javascript
+import { generateCharacterSpritesheet } from 'spriteai';
+
+const description = 'A pixelated ninja warrior';
+const options = {
+  states: ['idle', 'walk', 'attack'],
+  framesPerState: 6,
+  size: '512x512',
+  style: 'pixel-art',
+  direction: 'right'
+};
+
+async function createSprite() {
+  try {
+    const result = await generateCharacterSpritesheet(description, options);
+    console.log('Spritesheet generated:', result.spritesheet);
+    console.log('Metadata:', result.metadata);
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.error('Sprite generation failed:', error);
+  }
+}
+
+createSprite();
+```
+
+### Generating Pixel Art
+
+```javascript
+import { generatePixelArt } from 'spriteai';
+
+async function createPixelArt() {
+  const pixelArt = await generatePixelArt('A cute robot', {
+    save: true
+  });
+
+  console.log('Pixel Art URL:', pixelArt.url);
+}
+```
+
+### Additional Effects
+
+```javascript
+import { 
+  addShadow, 
+  addReflectionEffect, 
+  createElementalVariation 
+} from 'spriteai';
+
+async function enhanceSprite() {
+  const baseSprite = await generatePixelArt('A dragon');
+  
+  const spriteWithShadow = await addShadow(baseSprite, { 
+    shadowColor: 'dark-gray', 
+    opacity: 0.5 
+  });
+
+  const reflectedSprite = await addReflectionEffect(baseSprite);
+  
+  const fireElementSprite = await createElementalVariation(baseSprite, {
+    elementType: 'fire'
+  });
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### API Keys
+
+Set your OpenAI API key as an environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-api-key-here'
+```
+
+## Supported Methods
+
+- `generateCharacterSpritesheet()`
+- `generatePixelArt()`
+- `generateIsometric()`
+- `generateRetroConsole()`
+- `addShadow()`
+- `addOutline()`
+- `addReflectionEffect()`
+- And many more!
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Always wrap async sprite generation methods in try/catch blocks to handle potential API or processing errors.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Sprite generation relies on OpenAI's DALL-E 3 model
+- Image processing is done using Sharp library
+- Results may vary based on input description and model capabilities

+# SpriteAI Quickstart Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+SpriteAI is a powerful library for generating and manipulating game sprites using AI-powered image generation and processing. This quickstart guide will help you quickly get started with the core functionalities of SpriteAI.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js (version 14 or higher)
+- npm (Node Package Manager)
+- OpenAI API Key
+
+## Installation
+
+Install SpriteAI using npm:
+
+```bash
+npm install spriteai
+```
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### 1. Generating a Character Spritesheet
+
+Generate a character spritesheet with custom animation states:
+
+```javascript
+import { sprite } from 'spriteai';
+
+// Generate a pixel art character spritesheet
+const description = 'A warrior knight in pixel art style';
+const options = {
+  states: ['idle', 'walk', 'attack'],  // Animation states
+  framesPerState: 6,                   // Frames per animation
+  size: '512x512',                     // Output image size
+  style: 'pixel-art',                  // Art style
+  direction: 'right'                   // Character facing direction
+};
+
+async function createCharacterSprite() {
+  try {
+    const result = await sprite.generateCharacterSpritesheet(description, options);
+    
+    // Access the generated spritesheet
+    console.log('Spritesheet URL:', result.original);
+    console.log('Base64 Spritesheet:', result.spritesheet);
+    console.log('Metadata:', result.metadata);
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.error('Sprite generation failed:', error);
+  }
+}
+
+createCharacterSprite();
+```
+
+### 2. Generating Pixel Art
+
+Create pixel art sprites with AI:
+
+```javascript
+import { sprite } from 'spriteai';
+
+async function createPixelArt() {
+  const description = 'A cute robot exploring a futuristic city';
+  const result = await sprite.generatePixelArt(description);
+  
+  // Display or save the generated pixel art
+  console.log('Pixel Art:', result.image);
+}
+
+createPixelArt();
+```
+
+### 3. Generating a Landscape Sprite
+
+Create game background or environment sprites:
+
+```javascript
+import { sprite } from 'spriteai';
+
+async function createLandscapeSprite() {
+  const description = 'A mystical forest with ancient trees';
+  const options = {
+    size: '1024x1024',
+    style: 'pixel-art',
+    timeOfDay: 'sunset',
+    weather: 'misty',
+    perspective: 'side-scrolling'
+  };
+
+  const result = await sprite.generateLandscapeSprite(description, options);
+  console.log('Landscape Sprite:', result.landscape);
+}
+
+createLandscapeSprite();
+```
+
+## Advanced Image Processing
+
+### Remove Background Color
+
+Remove specific background colors from images:
+
+```javascript
+import { sprite } from 'spriteai';
+
+async function processImage() {
+  const inputPath = 'path/to/input/image.png';
+  const outputPath = 'path/to/output/image.png';
+  
+  await sprite.removeBackgroundColor(
+    inputPath, 
+    outputPath, 
+    '#FFFFFF',  // Target color to remove
+    0.1         // Color matching threshold
+  );
+}
+
+processImage();
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Ensure you have set up your OpenAI API key in your environment:
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-api-key-here'
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Always use try/catch blocks when working with asynchronous sprite generation methods to handle potential errors gracefully.
+
+## Supported Styles and Options
+
+- Art Styles: 'pixel-art', 'retro', 'modern'
+- Perspectives: 'side-scrolling', 'top-down', 'isometric'
+- Time of Day: 'day', 'night', 'sunset', 'dawn'
+- Weather Effects: 'clear', 'rainy', 'foggy', 'snowy'
