pixelfx: 244 pixel-art effects as code, plus a Claude Code skill

MIT-licensed library of 244 pixel-art effects and animations, each a small JavaScript function, with sprite-sheet export for Phaser, Godot and Unity and a Claude Code skill that generates new effects in the same style.

Why it matters

What you could build with it

Does it hold up?

Too early to judge for production games: only days old with a thin issue history, but the zero-dependency install and sprite-sheet export for Phaser, Godot and Unity make it immediately tryable for game jams and prototypes.
