Sprite editor: software to convert image to C code

Toki · 26 June 2020, 20:44

Hi

Is there an easy way to convert an image to code that I can load into my C program?

I thought I might be able to do this in Deluxe Paint somehow.

I can see programs that convert images to Hex, but I need one that will convert it into code e.g.

0x0000, 0x0000,
0x0180, 0x0000,
0x03C0, 0x0000,
0x07E0, 0x0000,
0x0FF0, 0x0000,
0x1FF8, 0x0000,
0x3FFC, 0x0000,
0x7FFE, 0x0000,
0x0000, 0xFFFF,
0x0000, 0xFFFF,
0x7FFE, 0x7FFE,
0x3FFC, 0x3FFC,
0x1FF8, 0x1FF8,
0x0FF0, 0x0FF0,
0x07E0, 0x07E0,
0x03C0, 0x03C0,
0x0180, 0x0180,
0x0000, 0x0000

Thanks

Personal Paint can save images as C code.

Thanks Kamelito. I've loaded PicCon250. I can see there is a option to save an image as C code which will be perfect. The only problem is I now need the keyfile for PicCon because I can't change the preferences without it. Do you know where I can get the keyfile?

Idrougge - thanks for the suggestion about Personal Paint - I shall keep this as Plan B if I can't get PicCon working.

You can also try artpro

Artpro was a good suggestion. It's taking a bit of fiddling around, but I'm managing to save the sprite picture in C Code UWORD format, and load it into a program and compile it. The sprite looks a mess when loaded, but at least it's a start.
