Hey all! Here's a taste of my new project! Actually, it's only a small component to a much larger project, which is a secret (due to it's complexity and likeliness to ever be completed). Can you guess what it is? there's already a million of them...
It's a bitmap to TI8x picture converter! But this one's a bit different...
Instead of having to use a black and white, specially sized picture, you can input ANY SIZE, ANY COLOR SCHEME (8,16,24,32-bit data) bitmap, and automatically convert into multiple 2,4, AND/OR 8-layer TIPics of any size! You can even convert only specified parts of the bitmap! Why convert the whole thing when you only need the data between (12,65) and (45,78) (just an example)?
Oh yeah, and don't forget: it'll be able to export the pictures into ASM and TIGCC formats too! See below (mockups):
Take this bitmap:
Convert it to 8-layer grayscale, and break it into four (or whatever is specified) seperate PIC files for the TI8x calcs (vertical/horizontal lines denote seperate files, real files will be grayscale, not B&W):
Program will work with all sized/formatted bitmaps, and will output the following:
1 - .8xg TI8x Group file containing pictures
1 - Zipped file containing z80 source code for pictures
x - Zipped file containing TIGCC source code for pictures
Whatchya think?
