... please wait
Google Chrome 54 introduced the ability to take a full screenshot of a webpage in April 2017. This by itself is pretty cool. But, I happened to be working on some game code and wanted to build a simple sprite sheet. I found a program, but it appears that sprite sheets are normally built to fit the content on to the sheet as best as possible. That makes sense, but I wanted something where the location of the images was organized into columns. This way I could easily calculate the frames for animation. So I wrote my own little program to automate the process. The row and column structure are baked into the filename constrictions.
The filename should be a number greater than 10000. This allows the row and column to converge. This allows a large number of frames to be placed into a matrix.
