For the last little while, I've been toying with this idea. And now that Celtic2 has some sprite displaying support, it's coming closer to a reality!The idea for this project is to have a general database of presidents' pictures, names, dates, important facts, etc to have in a portable manner for students in history class!Don't believe me? Well, here's what I've gotten done, after Kerm pointed out SC's abilities which was extremely helpful. Now, this is going to be as non-biased as I can make things, I'd like to stick to factual events that have been documented.Right now, I'm using wiki for the pictures, found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidents_of_the_United_StatesI'd love feedback for this project. Anything you'd like to contribute to facts on each president would be wonderful. Anyone that is a history buff and would like to contribute information for each president would be very helpful.I'm currently working on each of the pictures, and hope to have them all completed later today.
As to the better sprites, you are right, however, you'd be doubling to tripling the size of my sprite data, which is already massive. I'm sitting at 261KB just in sprite data for those 44 presidents. I'm looking at roughly that much or a hair bit more for the information for all of them.
