# Hugo-Dz/spritefusion-sprite-normals

> A Rust tool that generates normal maps from pixel art sprites, sprite sheets, and animations, available as a CLI and a WebAssembly library. It enables dynamic lighting on 2D sprites for 2.5D games.

- Magnitude: 4.7 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 113 total · +6 stars measured 2026-10-20, 10:12–12:25 UTC, ≈ 31 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Generate a normal map for a single PNG sprite via the CLI
- Batch-process a folder of sprites into a separate output directory
- Produce a normal-map atlas and frame metadata from a GIF animation

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-20 (UTC), 10:12–12:25: 107 → 113 stars (+6). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +31 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 113 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #190.
- About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 5
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 64 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 2

## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
