Introduction

zpl.texed is a cross-platform stack-based image generation tool suitable for prototyping textures with pixel art aesthetics. It offers a suite of tools to generate/blend/modify stacked layers and also provides an ability to export bespoke textures into PNG files or packed C header files (a header containing an array of bytes and various metadata).

zpl.texed runs on top of raylib technologies and makes use of the zpl ecosystem alongside the cwpack library to provide a robust and intuitive user experience.
