Hi folks,

I recently discovered Aseprite scripting with Lua and I wanted to share a [tutorial](https://behreajj.medium.com/how-to-script-aseprite-tools-in-lua-8f849b08733) I wrote about it. The associated Github repo, a work-in-progress, is [here](https://github.com/behreajj/AsepriteAddons). Here are two screen captures:

An arc drawing dialog.

Thanks for your time. Hope you find these fun and interesting!

Best,

Fantastic!  
I believe this is the ONLY aseprite scripting tutorial in existence.  
Please update it with more examples if you have time.

I didn’t know anyone else was making scripts! Just kidding, but really, having taught myself this stuff, you will have just helped the community grow a whole lot with this single post.

I foresee the popular link badge in your future. Also, welcome to the forums! What an excellent first contribution!
