Dual Layers
« on: August 08, 2010, 11:08:35 am »
I'm looking for good combinations of characters to create cool looking text sprites.  The method for displaying these is: display text on graph screen, store pic, display other text at same location, recall pic.

for an example, look here.

Ones I've come up with are:

Finance N with O
X with ^, makes cool "person-looking" character
H with capital i

there are others, but I can't remember right now.  If you know any good ones, post them!

There are some more intense ones out there.  Weregoose has some, if I recall correctly.

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Oh, you're talking about Dual-Layers. This might be of some use. Trevmeister66 made a dual layer generator a while ago and then I recreated it to include all of the tokens (and made one with his original tokens that is smaller than his). Could be useful.

Yeah, you just have to use storepic/recallpic to get the second layer.

You can use this small java applet that i wrote to find character combinations to generate any pattern you want!

You start the applet and fill in the grid with the pixels you want, then press the search button to search for possible combinations.  Possiblee combinations are shown in order of how close they are to your original drawing, but will try to find other combinations that look similar to your specifications too.  You can also click the 'shifted' option to switch to duel layer 'offset' sprites.

Thanks.  These really helped.  Now I'm off to find the best-looking ones and begin planning for a RPG.

Hmm.... in the chart in Raylin's post, on the sloped side of the triangle, near the bottom, in between the small two and three (right before the colon) is a little box.  Is this character printable?  I can't find it anywhere.

That box is different its in the middle of the space.  the one I'm talking about is at the top.  If you look closely in the chart, you can see the difference.

Ya, the box you're talking about is the solid one right? I don't think it's accessible anymore. It used to be though because I believe DJ used it in one of the Illusiats or something like that.
