## 🛠️ TOOLS & AUTOMATION

### **Created Scripts:**
1. **`scripts/organize_crop_sprites.py`**
   - Python automation script
   - Batch organizes generated sprites from brain directory
   - Renames with proper convention: `{crop}_stage{N}_{season}.png`
   - Successfully organized 93/101 sprites
   - Categories: strawberry, onion, pepper, cannabis_indica

### **Asset Organization:**
- All generated sprites moved to `/assets/sprites/crops/`
- Folder structure created:
  ```
  assets/sprites/crops/
  ├── strawberry/
  ├── onion/
  ├── pepper/
  └── cannabis_indica/
  ```

## 💬 NOTES

### **Art Style Consistency:**
All generated sprites maintain **"Dark-Chibi Noir"** style:
- ✅ 5px thick black outlines
- ✅ Smooth vector lines (NO pixelation)
- ✅ Flat vibrant color shading
- ✅ Chibi 1:1 proportions
- ✅ 64x64px isometric sprites

### **Seasonal Variations:**
Each crop properly reflects seasonal characteristics:
- **Spring:** Fresh bright greens, new growth, spring flowers

- **Autumn:** Fall colors, cooler tones, harvest readiness
- **Winter:** Snow, frost, cold-resistant growth, muted colors
