Creator NOTES

I built this tool mainly to create and export 8-bit icons & illustrations. It took about 160 prompts to arrive at the final version. I started by designing a basic layout in Figma, pasted it into Figma Make, and then got to work—solving one section at a time. I fixed bugs as they came up and later added multiple canvas sizes, keyboard shortcuts and a “Toy Mode” just for fun.
