I would recommend SourceCoder. Simply upload the image and voila, tons of output formats, one of which should be plain black-and-white image hex.

It's still a bit annoying because you "only have" 10 Pic variables (notice the quotes, I know we can have more but TI-Screen Capture can't use the unofficial ones) so you can't have tons of projects with images on your calc.

The image converter is the only thing I use in SourceCoder but I find it very useful. There are two downsides to it, one being that you can't use it without an internet connection, and the other one being that your image now uses 1536 bytes in your source code instead of 768. But you don't use any variable so you can't have unlimited projects (if we forget the limited memory of your calc).

Something to get rid of all downsides could be to use TI-Screen Capture to convert as a Pic, then use TokenIDE and Wabbitemu to quickly coin a program that converts the Pic into an appvar. This way, no need for an internet connection, a bit more than 768 bytes but far from 1536 and unlimited names
It just takes time the first time you write the Pic→Appv program, but it takes like 1 minute and only the first time.

You can convert it to a .8xi file with TI-Screen Capture (see TI-Connect/Tools) and send it to your calc. From there,  include [PicX]->Y, where PicX is whatever Pic variable you stored your bitmap in, and Y any Axe variable or static pointer. You'll need the said Pic variable every time you'll compile your program, but you can archive it. It's exactly the same as typing it in in hex, just a hundred times less annoying.

This would be really nice because it would save space, but it doesn't work when I try. After I store it to my variable, do I use the bitmap command?

Since it's a classical image, you can do DispGraph(pointerToThePic) to display it immediately, or Copy(pointerToThePic) to copy it to L₆. Bitmap() won't work since you need a header.

How does it not work ? Does it compile at least ?

You might want to ask KermM about that. I never used SourceCoder for fullscreen images.

I need to implement a timer in my game (don't step the white tile) and want to do so with interrupts. How would I do this? I've tried learning from the documentation but my code always crashes.


I'd like to make it so that it stores the seconds in D and hundredths of seconds in E.

I thought the Ion header doesn't support an image icon

The Ion header is just a jump to label followed by a description IIRC. So if you add an image after the said description, I'm pretty confident MirageOS will display it.

I guess it's because it's not the way the creator of Ion intended the Ion header. Try inputting an Ion header with an image with Asm( and see if it works.
