Image Converter

[DFX2KX]

you can generate a Map with sprites.
You use an 2D array of byte for map config

byte myMap[10][6] = {
{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},
{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},
{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},
{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},
{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},
{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},
};

now you can for every byte (in this map every 0) creat 255 Sprites

So you loop trouth the myMap and Draw the Sprits every 8 Pixel in x and y with,
gb.display.drawBitmap(x, y, bitmap);

Ah, okay! Thanks for that! (I imagine you could save a few ms by checking each time if the sprite in question will even be visible, and skip drawing it if need be)

Alas, I've gotten gray to (kinda) work! The Emulator can't handle that much flicker, but it works! great tool, I'm going to use the heck out of it.

UPDATE:
-solve the bug if the image is smaller then 8x8 pixel

Thanks for updating that nice piece of software! I just want to precise that the library needs the width to be a multiple of 8px, but it supports heights < 8 px.

Yes but the format B00000000 should be the range.
If you like you can put the converter to the Library

Thanks, that turned out to be quite similar to what I did.

Also, just so you know. on Windows 7, the image converter likes to take the icon of one of the other applications on the taskbar, usually seems to be whatever the last thing I opened before the program itself was. It's not serious, just odd. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to have it's own Icon, of if my Windows is just deciding to act weird with it.

Yes it's a bug but I don't know from where it comes. When you download the source you can see there is a gb logo icon.

Well, at least it's not me!

Linux build?

A "please" doesn't harm. I made a Java based bitmap encoder, I'll upload it soon.

Sorry, I didn't think about it.
But Java-based? Yay!
