# Alucard Sprites

A curated dataset of pixel art sprites at 128x128 RGBA resolution with text captions, built for training the [Alucard](https://github.com/evilsocket/alucard) text-to-sprite generative model.

Each sprite has been individually normalized (multi-sprite grids split into individual sprites, tight-cropped and centered) and captioned using CLIP zero-shot classification describing sprite type, color, size, and view angle.

## Dataset Details

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Resolution | 128x128 RGBA |
| Format | Parquet with embedded images |
| Columns | `image` (PNG bytes), `text` (caption) |

## Usage

### With Alucard (training)

```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/evilsocket/alucard.git
```

### With HuggingFace datasets

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("evilsocket/alucard-sprites")
sample = ds["train"][0]
print(sample["text"])  # caption
sample["image"].show()  # PIL Image
```
