What Planet Generator does

Space games, menus and strategy maps look empty without something turning in the background. The Planet Generator makes rotating pixel planets: pick one of 62 planet types, roll a new seed, choose a size from 32 to 256 pixels, shift the colours and switch clouds and rings on or off.

Each planet turns once per loop with no jump between the last frame and the first, so the sheet drops into a game as an animation as it is. A single frame works as a still.

How it works

  1. Choose a planet type and a size.
  2. Roll seeds and shift the hue until it fits your game.
  3. Switch clouds and rings on or off.
  4. Export the turning sheet or a single frame.

What you get out

  • Sprite sheet (1x, 2x, 4x)
  • Single frame
  • Settings
