How are you handling aliasing with the stroked path?

You mean those weird glitches you get with the line maker? Well if you have it indexed to 256 colors, and have it draw the line with the pencil (when the pencil is set to 1x1) it stops those weird glitches...
If thats what you ment...

Or do you mean how do i make the fire effect look wavy? Well that i got from an opensource sprite pack...

Hope this helps you so you dont have to mess arround with all those extra programs just to get a few sprites made.

Well i use photoshot for all editing and i dont use Illustrator no more, and I use Paint just to rotate pixels cuz PS sux at dat. After effects is so i can turn the sprites in to Gifs.

But u vids have inspired me to continue on without doubt. Thanx Buddy but ur still on my odd ball list.

Ps Im going to check out ur program too
