SirCmpwn's Sprite Editor
« on: January 05, 2011, 10:40:11 pm »
YAASE ;)

I spent some time while grounded working on a 4-level grayscale sprite editor.  It shows you a large view and a small view, and allows you to edit a sprite sheet (a large number of sprites used for a single purpose, such as a tilemap).  That much is not very impressive.  The impressive part is that you can export the entire sprite sheet into an Axe-formatted library program, and immediately add an "include" to your program that uses the sprites.  When using the editor, the grayscale is a little slow, but it is easy to see the colors.  Attached is a screenie and the program itself, enjoy!  I will release source code at a later time.

I think something like the intro should be displayed while KOS boots up :)
The editor is nice too :) I myself wouldn't probably use it because I think I've completely gone to the assembly side, but it looks great and easy to use as well as feature filled :)

Nice! I like how it can export entire sprite sheets.

Yeah, it was a bit of a pain getting the tokenized stuff working, because it isn't just plain ASCII, but importing the sprite sheets again was more of a pain.

Sounds great, yunhua98!  If you are concerned about the possibility of loosing your data due to crashes, you can keep your sprite sheet archived, and the editor will seamlessly import it, and can re-archive it on export if you change the setting.

If anyone wants a smaller version of Hexpic I wrote, you can find it here.
I think it's under 1000 bytes (anyone using an 83+?)
(Not trying to undermine you Sir. This is mainly for people with not a lot of memory.)

Naw, it's totally cool.  I once wrote a very simple sprite converter program for minimalistic programmers that was something like 50 bytes.

???

Also, I think this should be moved to calc projects - anybody concur?

Hmm, 4-scale, huh?  Maybe I can finally try making a 4-scale game!
My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.
