🖼️ Sprite Database (SpriteDb)

The SpriteDb window allows you to organize, tag, and categorize sprites visually for use with Intrigues.

🧠 Usage in Runtime

You can retrieve sprites at runtime via:

GetAssets (returns a list):

var portraits = IM.GetAssets("Portraits", "Male", "Northlander");

GetAsset (returns one result):

public static Sprite GetAsset(string category, params string[] tags); 
var portrait = IM.GetAsset("Portraits", "Female", "Imperian");

Use SpriteDb to create a structured, taggable asset pool for all your dynamic portrait, faction, and context-based sprite needs.
