# pixsy

a tool for [Bitsy Game Maker](http://bitsy.org). 
upload any image and convert it into a room.

made by [Max Bradbury](http://tinybird.info/). 
makes use of my own [bitsy parser](https://crates.io/crates/bitsy-parser) library.

uses the [Croppie](https://foliotek.github.io/Croppie/) image crop plugin 
by [Foliotek](https://www.foliotek.com/)

uses [wasm-bindgen](https://crates.io/crates/wasm-bindgen) to automate WebAssembly bindings.

## thanks

### development prerequisites

* [rust/cargo](https://rustup.rs/)
* [pug](https://pugjs.org/)
* [less](http://lesscss.org/)
* a bash shell for the build script

## bugs

when importing images, some pixels have errors. 
it seems to only happen for pixels surrounded at the top and left:
```
111    111
100 => 110
100    100
```

pixsy does not work in the Itch desktop program 
because their bundled version of Chromium does not support WebAssembly.

## to do

* add alternative dithering options (Atkinson, Bayer 8×8)
* add a 'smoothing' (noise reduction?) stage to remove errant pixels

## could do

* reimplement tile reuse option
* add camera support so users can take a pic instead of uploading an image
* allow user to draw to canvas
