Time for action – editing an existing frame with Pencyl
The game file to import and load for this session is 5961_05_05.stencyl
.
Note that, when using the Pencyl graphics editor, hovering the mouse cursor over any of the tools in the toolbar will display a tooltip detailing the name of the tool.
Display the Stencyl Book Snake actor in the Animation Editor; the snake actor has only one animation, with a single frame.
In the main panel, in the Frames section, the first and only frame for the snake actor should be highlighted with an orange border; if it is not, click on frame 0 to select it.
Locate the Edit Frame (External) button at the bottom of the main panel and click on it. Be sure not to click on the Edit Frame button; that's the option for changing frame durations!
In a few moments, the Pencyl image editor will be displayed on the screen with the snake actor in the editing window.
Click on Zoom Tool, represented by a magnifying-glass icon, in the toolbar at the left edge of the screen.
