# Pixel-Art Sprite Generator

> Pixel-Art Sprite Generator is a paid API for AI agents from market.datapackvibe.com, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Generates royalty-free, transparent PNG pixel-art sprites for game assets such as creatures, items, ships, and buildings from an optional seed for reproducibility.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability pixel-art-sprite-generator-6a36ee4f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate 4 creature pixel-art sprites on a 12×12 grid scaled up 8x as transparent PNGs — use seed 'dragon42' so I can reproduce them later.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need deterministic, royalty-free pixel-art sprites as transparent PNGs with guaranteed reproducibility via seed, especially for game prototyping or indie game development where you need symmetric outlined assets across creature, item, ship, and building categories without hiring a pixel artist.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'kind' enum value returns a validation error
- Grid size outside 8–32 range rejected
- Scale outside 1–16 range rejected
- Count outside 1–8 range rejected
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns 402
- Seed ignored if malformed, producing random output instead

## How this service works

Pixel-art sprites: Original pixel-art sprites for games (creatures, items, ships, buildings) as transparent PNGs. Symmetric, outlined and royalty-free: you own what you buy. The same seed always gives the same sprites.

## Output

Returns a set of transparent PNG pixel-art sprite images (count 1–8), each rendered at the requested grid size multiplied by the scale factor. Sprites are symmetric and outlined, royalty-free for commercial use, and deterministic — the same seed always produces identical output.
