I have to be honest, I feel disappointed with the purchase. The main reason I bought this is because of the ability to move sprites on the sheet. I have a ton of tiles that need to be organized on the sheet in certain patterns so I bought the program and loaded up a folder with 192 sprites. I realized soon that attempting to move the sprites around to the correct places resulted in a constant re-arranging of the surrounding sprites, which resulted in a perpetual unmanageable slide puzzle. If moving a sprite to a new location swapped places with that sprite, it would work perfectly. But as it is it's near impossible to arrange my sprites, so I feel like the money was wasted.
Hi Cory,
I am sorry to here that Animshed does not work for you as you would like.
There are two options in Animshed to stop all the sprites shifting when you are re arranging them, however this way of working might not suit everyone. This is just how AGK accepts the sprites. You have to re arrange them in order. Animshed is designed to make this arrangement easier by dragging your sprites into their positions as opposed to typing in columns and rows etc. or manually typing in your code where they are in the sprite sheet.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention and the process ( and how to improve uppon it ) will be looked into in future updates.
Fuzzy Visions aims to satisfy all their users and help them have an enjoyable creative time with Animshed.
Please let me know if you require a full refund.
Have a great day Cory.
Kind Regards,

Yes, it can initially be a bit confusing when you move your sprites around and all the others shift around.
Just remember ( for others reading this post ) that you have two options when moving your sprites. 1. To replace two sprites and not shift all the others or 2. To shift all the others to fill the gaps. it is also worth mentioning that ( apart from when you OK Animshed to give your sprites a border ) your original sprites from where you load them in the folder are never altered.
In the next Animshed update I would like to enable whole animation sets to be moved around ( instead of individual sprites ) as well as flipping them and mirror imaging them etc.
Thank you for your communication Cory. It really helps in making Animshed a better package for the future.
Wishing you all the best in your game development
David
