no you
Been a damn while since I been here but never the less I must
Yo, Ralph! Hope I’m not a problem,but whenever I’m on my Android insignia tablet I can’t download packs. At first it would be a zip,I open the zip,extract the file,and be on my way,but when downloaded it looks as if it’s an individual node. Like the pack itself isn’t a zip it’s just a file.
plz help me thanks!
what if you just download the ZIP, then tap the ZIP, “Open with -> Stick Nodes” ?
no need to extract anything manually
How do I change color of a stick man’s hair
hi
the same way to change the color of anything
likely the hair is made up of many segments
so you’ll have to “Edit stickfigure”, and when in creation mode, select all the hair nodes and change the color, then “Add stickfigure to library” and you can use it in the animation
Hey ralph im wondering can i make the frames bigger so i can do more with it and plz dont say pro because that will break heart
frames bigger?
you can zoom out and move the camera all over the place unless I’m misunderstanding

Como desinstalo una figura descargada
En la ventana “Importar memoria” hay un botón para “Eliminar permanentemente la figura seleccionada” que lo elimina de su dispositivo.
At least u didn’t say tacos or banos

“8/10 it SUCKS” ~IGN
Are you insane!?
GOOGLE F*CKING TRANSLATE!?
well excuse me I didn’t have time to attend Spanish lessons in order to answer this good sir’s question
Use spanishdict.com or something
Hi ralph i want to make my stickfigure go through different apps but when i change he BG it changes it at all the frames
Hi, yeah that’s normal behavior.
When you press “Load BG” after already having one, the window pops up letting you know “A project can only contain one background image due to limitations”.
So…sorry, but yeah that’s how it has to be for now.
What people do, as I’m sure you’ve seen videos with different backgrounds, is simply make different projects, export them all, then put them together with a video-editing app or something.
How do you add music?
Hi There,
Once I am done with an animation, is there any way to get the individual frames of my ipad to a sprite sheet, I would like to use the frames in a different program?
Thanks so much!
hm, well there’s nothing built-in to do that
what you could do is export a (non-tweened) GIF or MP4…then use a website that displays all the frames of a GIF/video, and then you’ll have each frame as an image
What I do is screenshot each frame
you can do that too, make it fullscreen if you can too for bonus effect
Great thank so much for the reply.
I don’t know if there is a request thread, but can I request that this feature be implemented, (if possible) in to the app. The reason why I ask is, Stick Nodes is AWESOME AND PORTABLE. When I’m home, I use Pivot to create sprite sheets for a game I’m working on, but the mobility of Stick Nodes can’t be beat, so to be able to natively save the animations frame to a google drive or something would be EPIC! If you can that’s great, if you can’t, that’s cool too!
Great work on the app!
… my game is better
