Author Topic: Sprite 2 hex (Read 4269 times)

Well, I decided to make up a Sprite 2 Hex program, that would allow a programmer to easily make sprites for the Hex 2 Sprite system.

This program will allow a person to make 8x8, 16x16, and 32x32 sprites within a defined area. Once the person presses ENTER, then the calc will convert the entire pic into binary, and then finish it off with hex.

I am guessing this program to be less than 2000 bytes, hopefully around 1000 being the max, but we shall see.

First things first, update for AODR and Hex2Sprite is underway...

It is possible to make such a useful utility, as you have done with the hex to sprite program. What I would do is make options for the user to select the part of the image they want to convert to hex, like a mapmaker but where you can select 8x8, 16x16, 8x16 etc. up to the whole image. I would then take that part of the picture and do the usual and have a for loop with the conditions for the area being stored to hex. In the loop I would simply do, str1 + pixel-test(X,Y->str1 . In such a way I would then go through the string and convert into hex.

Sorry if you have thought of this already, but I just thought I would give my two cents. Also if you wanted to you could convert straight to hex on the go, but I would suspect that being slower.

That doesn't work. How about: str1+sub("01",pxl-Test(X,Y),1->str1. That should work. You would put it in two for( loops X and Y (I recomend using different variables in it's place though since this program is run using graph screen). Good luck on this, it could be very useful.

Yeah I figured it would not work, as I was typing this after getting home from work at a late time. Thanks for the correction.

Things are moving along with it, I have to simply set up the drawing part, and the conversion, and it will be done.

cool! can't wait to try it out!

So very close now, I had seperated the parts of the program, to make it easier to edit (cause I am impatient, scrolling through 1000 bytes worth of code) and now as far as I can tell, there are only two things left:

-Make it draw sprites in Str4
-Integrate test prog into actual prog.

And of course, test the program.

Edit: Here be the prog, with all its loving bugs...

I am optimizing it as it goes.

This is the (hopefully) bug free version. Please let me know what you think, and if you run across any bugs.

Keys:

2nd: Select/Pixel on
Alpha: pixel off
d-pad: move cursors

I will test this tonight as soon as I stop feeling nauseous/

@tifreak8x I saw the screenies and it looked very cool!

@elfprince I hope you feel better soon

It has been released on calcgames thus far. We shall see how long it takes them to get it up on ticalc.org...

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #12 on:** July 10, 2006, 12:33:00 pm »

next year, hopefully.

Hopefully I'll get some time to upload it on Omnimaga *pokes tifreak8x or tenniskid to do it*

tifreak · « **Reply #13 on:** July 11, 2006, 01:18:00 am »

hehe, I would upload it here, I just dont have any ftp clients yet. >.<

And I still need to upload it to my site... I dont think I ever put hex2sprite online on my site O_O
