RapidLPC - LPC Character Generator

A composable paper doll system for creating Liberated Pixel Cup (LPC) characters in Godot Engine

Features

• 🧩 Modular Body Part System: Combine heads, bodies, clothing, and equipment
• 🎨 Live Swapping: Change character components in real-time
• 🧬 LPC-Compatible: Works with standard LPC spritesheets
• 🕹️ Animation Ready: Generated characters work with Godot's AnimationPlayer
• 📦 Resource-Driven Design: Easy to extend with new assets
• 🧪 Proof of Concept: Core functionality implemented (see Demo)

Key architectural principles:

1. Modular Part Management
   Each body part autonomously handles its own textures and animations for clean separation of concerns.
2. Real-Time Character Preview
   Instantly visualize character changes as you swap body parts.
3. Live Animation Preview
   Test and preview animations dynamically during the design process.
4. Intelligent Texture Layering
   Automatic z-index sorting ensures proper visual hierarchy of body layers.
5. Flexible LPC Export Options
   Export as a single compact spritesheet or split animation sheets in standard Liberated Pixel Cup format.
