Commander X16

Please correct me if I have this wrong, but it seems I have a use-case that is unachievable. For example: If I have VERA Layer 0 set to 16x16 tiles @2BPP, the expected data size for a single tile is 64 bytes. I have tiles with 2 colors, but the tool doesn’t account for my chosen 2BPP depth, and wil...

No, it is not necessary. The colors of the PNG image will be converted to X16 colors, in other words the 8-bit values (0-255) will be approximated with the closest 4-bit value (0-15). Have a look at the example in one of the screen dumps that I have attached in the first post in this thred. There yo...

Thanks for pointing this out. Yes it is an unnecessary restriction, especially when considering the existence of GRAPH_Draw_Image. I will change it in next version.

X16PngConverter has become a cross-platform application. It now supports Linux and macOS, not only Windows.

Many thanks, I really appreciate you took time to test it and also your feedback. It seems that I have understood right how to compile for different systems in Visual Studio.

Now, I use ImageSharp instead, which is a cross-platform library. If I get things right, I have successfully compiled macOS and Lin...

No, I don’t mind at all. I am just glad you find it enjoyable and want to share it with others.

V 1.0.1 has been released. The only change is that the increase in speed after walking a certain distance, is removed. You can still fly at a lower and a higher speed though. The fastest way to move is still falling down a shaft ...

V 1.5.5 has been released. The only change is that the game is now using ZSMKit instead of ZSound. This is to make sure that it will work with both the YM2151 and the YM2164 sound chip.
