For those who don't know already, it allows you to convert image files into byte code which you can then use to draw sprites in your add-ins. Please note that at the moment, Casio SDK Sprite Generator will only generate black and white sprites and any colour images will be converted to monochrome before being processed.
Disclaimer: Although this program has been scanned for viruses before being uploaded, you download and run at your own risk. I am not responsible for any data loss or any other problem caused by the direct or indirect use of this program.
Features
- Currently supports the following file types: BMPs, PNGs, JPGs
- Automatic cropping of images larger than 128x64 (the resolution of the calculator's LCD panel)
- Preview window, so that you can see what the sprite will look when drawn by the calculator.
- Most importantly perhaps, it's freeware! Use it for whatever purpose you want.
Supported Code Templates
- C Function Code - This produces a self contained C function that you can call to easily draw your image in your add-in. You need to pass the x,y locations of where you want the image, but also a flag specifying where the sprite will be drawn to (i.e. straight to the calculator's screen, just into Video RAM, or both).
- Array Only Mode - For more experienced programmers, this just generates the array that hold's your sprites bitmap data.
If anyone finds a bug or has any feature requests, please let me know. I will try to improve this program if, and when, I get time,
Post here if you use it in any projects so that I know it was worth making, 8-)
