Assets & Sources

Split from the original design notes on 2026-08-02.

Task

Extract game items from the source images, pixelize them, and create a pixelized player avatar using up to 10 sprites (running, jumping, …).

• Antagonist avatar images are pixelized in the kn00t folder.
• Score display graphics: pixelsp33d.jpg (top-level project file, the YT/Discord avatar) — used as the HUD score badge.

Status: everything below is already fetched and committed under assets/src/ (see the table at the end). Nothing is pending. The game code itself never references any of these external URLs or original local paths — it only ever reads from assets/gen/ (the pixelized output derived from this source material). The original Discord CDN links are signed and expire, so the links below are kept as plain text, not clickable — they’re provenance records of where each file came from, not live sources meant to be re-opened or re-fetched.

Additional kn00t artwork (gdrive)

Google Drive folder kn00t (via rclone remote gdrive:kn00t) contained 8 native 16×16 pixel-art portraits, already downloaded to assets/src/kn00t/gdrive/: Cyberkn00t, Divingkn00t, EvilOriginalkn00t, Godkn00t, kn00tInBlack, kn00tOpenHair, kn00tRedShirt, Lazykn00t.

What’s already in the repo

See the technical plan for what each of these turned out to actually be and how it’s used in-game, and tools/*.sh + tools/*.py in the repo for the pixelization pipeline that turns this source art into assets/gen/.
