Sprite Stage
Sprite Stage is a component of Piga Animator that is focused on sprite-based layered cell animation. It was the original nucleus of the project, starting on August 19, 2008. It remained the primary form it took until its sister components, most notably Speech Generator, were formally split out in December 2018. It is powered by the underlying Gambas Performance System. Its major underlying feature is a system to keep cells of different sizes in position with one another, as well as anchors and offsets for overlays. It was first used for "Forklift", the first episode of Manic Minutes, released on March 1, 2024.
