libwiisprite is a new sprite library which uses GX as its underlying rendering engine. It is optimized for rapid fast game development, but can also be used for GUI applications.
About
libwiisprite is a C++ sprite library written for the Wii which utilises GX for all its graphical operations, meaning the GPU is used to accelerate graphics.
libwiisprite aims to make developing Wii homebrew simple and fun with better graphical results than currently existing libraries.
libwiisprite is currently under heavy development, but this version is a semi-stable version allowing most of the proposed functionality of the library.
All possible pngs can be loaded, even the ones with an alpha layer, so you can get started immediately!
The library comes with full Doxygen documentation to help get development started. You can find it in the docs folder. It is also available online:
Sample Application (Video)
A simple demonstration of basic libwiisprites capabilities:

Download & Installation
You can download the library from
Please refer to the README.TXT for installation instructions.
New Stuff
0.2.3
- All possible png files can now be loaded.
- Image has now a "DestroyImage()" method to allow to reload the image after that.
0.2.2
- Image now supports loading from a buffer. Now you don't have to specify a path, but you can use a raw2c converted file or your own buffer of a png file. The documentation has a whole page dedicated to it.
- Quad visibility check fixed. Thanks to crediar for finding the bug.
- GameWindow now is a tad faster at initializing. Thanks go to shagkur.
- Updated spritetest to load one image from buffer.
- Several small bugfixes for the library to make it even more stable.
The old changelogs may be found in the RELEASE.TXT file.
Other libwiisprite Examples
- Box2D + libwiisprite - Box2D ported to Wii with an example powered by libwiisprite. Made by 0xtob.
