A free office hero for your next learning game

If your learning game still has a gray box where the hero should be, this might help. He has a cape, a tie and a coffee he never spills, and he comes in three sprite sheets, ready to drop into a 2D game.

Office Hero walking with his coffee, from the walk sprite sheet

Run

What's in the set?

If you're newer to games, a sprite sheet is basically one picture that holds a character's frames in a grid. Each frame is one still drawing. Play them fast and he moves.

  • Three sprite sheets: idle, walk and run.
  • 25 frames in each sheet, laid out 5 by 5. Each frame is 256 by 256 pixels.
  • Transparent backgrounds (no box around him), saved as PNG files (office-hero-idle.png, office-hero-walk.png and office-hero-run.png).

Can I use him at work?

Yes. Use him in your own games and training, at work or at home, even in games you sell. Shipping him inside your game is fine. Please don't sell or share the sprite files on their own, as a sprite pack.

How do I use them with Claude Code?

Before I add him, I'd unzip the download and work in a copy of the game, so the real one stays safe. I'd also set Claude to Manual mode, so it asks before each change. Then I'd put the three PNG files in its folder, open Claude Code there, and tell Claude something like this:

"Add the Office Hero idle and run sheets to my game. Each one is a 5 by 5 grid of 256-pixel frames, 25 frames each. Show me the frames first. Then play the run frames when the player moves, and the idle frames when they stop. Flip him when he moves left."

Seeing the frames first lets you check he's cut cleanly before he moves. Walk is in the set too, for when you want a slower step.

If you don't have a game yet, I'd put the PNG files in a new folder and open Claude Code there. Then I'd ask for a game first: "Make a simple 2D game where I move a character with the arrow keys." Then paste the line above.

Then I'd play it and tell Claude what looks off. I explain how to check frames here.
