⚠️ Current Limitations

• ⚠️ Input image format: Currently supports PNG texture atlases only
• ⚠️ Static thread and memory usage: Currently uses the resources you tell it to without any dynamic managing of system resources.
• ⚠️ False positive virus (Windows only): Some anti-virus software flags compiled Python code as malware. Read this for more info
