# Pixel Art Convert any image into retro pixel art, then optionally animate it into a short MP4 or GIF with era-appropriate effects (rain, fireflies, snow, embers). Two scripts ship with this skill: - `scripts/pixel_art.py` — photo → pixel-art PNG (Floyd-Steinberg dithering) - `scripts/pixel_art_video.py` — pixel-art PNG → animated MP4 (+ optional GIF) Each is importable or runnable directly. Presets snap to hardware palettes when you want era-accurate colors (NES, Game Boy, PICO-8, etc.), or use adaptive N-color quantization for arcade/SNES-style looks. ## When to Use - User wants retro pixel art from a source image - User asks for NES / Game Boy / PICO-8 / C64 / arcade / SNES styling - User wants a short looping animation (rain scene, night sky, snow, etc.) - Posters, album covers, social posts, sprites, characters, avatars ## Workflow Before generating, confirm the style with the user. Different presets produce very different outputs and regenerating is costly. ### Step 1 — Offer a style Call `clarify` with 4 representative presets. Pick the set based on what the user asked for — don't just dump all 14. Default menu when the user's intent is unclear: ```python clarify( question="Which pixel-art style do you want?", choices=[ "arcade — bold, chunky 80s cabinet feel (16 colors, 8px)", "nes — Nintendo 8-bit hardware palette (54 colors, 8px)", "gameboy — 4-shade green Game Boy DMG", "snes — cleaner 16-bit look (32 colors, 4px
