Is there a way to import assets from external programs like aesprite? ---

y’know, i should really make a tool for this… i also like using aesprite in my free time. are you primarily doing single images or animations? do you do tilemaps in aesprite? just want to figure out what use case i should prioritize ---

when @Kadeo makes art in aesprite he uses this to convert them into a sprite [Convert image to Arcade sprite](https://kristianpedersen.github.io/Convert-Image-to-MakeCode-Arcade-Sprite/) note: if you want to paste it strat to the editor just copy from the img part also he uses the color pallet of make code when creating a sprite ---

I would probably make tilemaps as it would be much easier in Aesprite. I’m not really making assets for games in Aesprite right now as I wanted to know if it was viable before commiting. ---

I have the makecode pallette imported into aseprite, and I primarily do larger images with it. All of the background menu art is made in aseprite and converted to makecode. ---

Aseprite is amazing. I’m so glad I found it. If you made a tool for this, I think I’d cry from happiness! (but feel free to ignore me) ---

Perhaps adding an import for Libresprite as well? ---

I’ve previously used Aesprite just art in the past, backdrops or sprites.
