Maybe add layers to the sprite/animation editor?

i dont know whether or not this has already been suggested, but im gonna say it anyway.

you know what the already amazing sprite and animation editor could really use in the next update to become even better? layers. allow us to make different layers with different things on each layer for more complex animations, better sprites, easier animating. there’s literally no downsides to adding layers.

I think a toggle for onion skinning also would be super useful for animation

Basically where other frames can be seen with lower opacity.

Yeah I agree, I actually sometimes use a external editor.

Yeah for Card Delver, I mainly used aesprite once the editor became too laggy and the background also disappeared. Still, made all the character art in makecode!

There’s an option to see the previous frame at lower opacity in the animation editor. Not available in the image editor though
