Hello, Anyone knows a good sprite editor for linux? I''m not interested in apps like GIMP or PhotoShop, I want something like Deluxe Paint II for MS-DOS... Thanks a lot, Marc Casas

Well, I''ve never used Deluxe Paint II, but if you''re looking for something simple (yet more powerful than, say, that paint program that comes with Windows), there''s always good old xpaint.

I never found anything like deluxe paint for linux or FreeBSD. When I do sprite art I dual-boot into windows to use Pro-Motion. Its a great deluxe paint clone.

On linux/freebsd The Gimp works fairly well. kpaint is ok. xpaint is horrible.

If you search around you can find people working on deluxe paint clones for linux/freebsd but I haven''t found any in usable form.

GIMP is amazing. Never heard of deluxe paint.

As for sprites... There is that Render->Grid thing in gimp if thats what you''re looking for?
