Okay, attached is a program that will convert an 8xi file into an 8xp full of hex.  It was thrown together in a few minutes, so it doesn't have error handling or any of that stuff.
Usage:
PicToHex input.8xi output.8xp CALCNAME

Where CALCNAME is what it looks like in the program menu.

Please tell me if you find any bugs.

Will the pics be added during compile, or will the data remain in pic form, externally, even after compiling?


Would such feature give you the option to absorb the pic by 8x8 chunks too?

To be honest, one reason why I fail at finding motivation to program in Axe more than I currently do is knowing I will have to do the chore of converting my sprites to hex, even if I have programs by SirCmpwn to do so. It gets hectic if I need to regulary add tiles or if I need to edit one. Plus if I have many, it can end up being a major hassle to find the right tile to delete from my source code and make sure to not accidentally delete the wrong data

Nice to hear

Cool, I haven't made an axe program with my converted pic but I assume the program content should look like this, right? (see attachment)

I can,t wait for Tile version too ^^

and according to further tests, it's the right HEX that is created too. Nice job ^^

I'll upload to download section once you got the tile version. However, I would also suggest making it clearer about what the user need to run in the zip file. Usually, people are used to having the exe file right in the root directory and people who are not used to programming vocabulary may not be aware that "bin" means it's the executable folder.

Yeah that would be cool. would make things much easier

This will still be useful even after the next release because some people won't want to keep a bunch of pictures on their calculator to compile the program, they might just prefer to import them directly all in one file.  Good job on this!
