Summary
The Pedalican project demonstrates how GPT‑5.6 Sol can generate a custom Codex pet by creating sprite assets with gpt‑image‑2 and assembling them into a sprite sheet. The process involved multiple rounds of prompts, generating a clean full‑body reference sprite, and then creating animation frames such as waving.
The resulting GIFs and sprite sheets are open‑source and licensed under Apache 2.0, using the `hatch-pet` and `imagegen` skills from OpenAI’s skill repository. The pet, named Pedalican, rides a bicycle and provides updates on Codex tasks.
The project showcases how text‑to‑image generation can be leveraged to produce simple game‑ready sprites for use in AI‑powered applications.
