Yeah, maybe I should try to make a program in java that allows you to input a desired tile, and then it finds the correct combination, or at least some that are close O.o

I think so, I have a tilesheet on my computer of all the single characters, so it should be a couple days and I'll have it up and running! (hopefully D:)

it would be cool, have it so it can do both Pi and Serenity style. I had one in TI-BASIC before but it was too slow so it was too tedious to use x.x

Yeah i imagine it would be very slow in TiBasic, there are so many possibilities...

As it is it will probably take a few seconds in Java :P

This sounds awesome! Good luck, and I wouldn't mind the time. (Though max for me would be about 1 minute.) :D

Alright, the utility is nearing its completion, I should have a working version out by the end of today  8) It will support both Duel and Shifted Text Sprite graphics, and fuzzy logic to find close matches ;D

nice, will it support favourites? It could let you store your favourite combinations with a small use description for example and not have to search through the entire char table again

Um probably not as I don't know of any way to write to files, but It will display the two characters needed to make the combined sprite, and you could write them down if you wanted to.  Its not really a Storage program, but more like a program to find the right combinations of characters to get a desired sprite.

oooh ok, well if you can write them down (providing they can be saved, due to the whole unicode/ascii issues) it would be nice enough.

Alright here is version 1.0.0

It supports both Duel and Shifted text sprites, and a snappy interface :P.  Click on the pixels to toggle them, a preview will appear in the bottom right.  Click the search button to search for potential matches.  They will be displayed on the right in descending order, with best match on the top left and then moving in columns to the right.  Some simple graphical tools were implemented, but nothing fancy, just Invert and Clear.  Press the Shifted button to switch between shifted and non-shifted tiles.  Move your cursor over a preview to see the two tiles that are used to make it, they appear in the bottom middle underneath all the potential match previews.

oh wow you even did a searcher for them XD nice. Would it be possible to have a mode where you can view every characters and let you combine them, tho, or would it be too hard?

No, actually that would be pretty easy :P I probably would put it in a separate program though, since its a different kind of concept
