The stylesheet and html are autogenerated; if you want to alter them please edit the pug template or less stylesheet, e.g. from the command line as follows:
|
|
|
|
`pug index.pug index.html`
|
|
`lessc style.less style.css`
|
|
|
|
`pug` and `less` can be installed via `npm` as follows:
|
|
|
|
`npm install -g pug-cli`
|
|
`npm install -g less`
|
|
|
|
I had to hack the included Croppie plugin to allow the user to upload images from their own computer without falling foul of CORS restrictions. So the version bundled here is non-standard. It's a one-line change:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
croppie.js:182 (original)
|
|
if (src.match(/^(https)?:\/\/|^\/\//)) {
|
|
croppie.js:182 (mine)
|
|
if (src.match(/^(file|https)?:\/\/|^\/\//)) {
|
|
```
|

## to do
|
|
|
|
layout idea:
|
|
game data | image | palette
|
|
crop | preview | output
|
|
|
|
* read Bitsy data
|
|
** tiles
|
|
** ~~palettes~~
|
|
* ~~read Bitsy data from html file~~
|
|
* ~~add palette choice~~
|
|
* create bitsy tiles from image
|
|
** only add unique new tiles
|
|
** find closest existing tiles and use those if desired
|
|
*** add a slider? (*always use existing tiles* -> *always create new tiles*) (representing 0-64 threshold for # of common pixels)
|
|
* style the damn thing
|
|
* reorganise the page layout for a more logical workflow
|
|
** hide page sections the user does not need to know about yet?
|
|
|
|
## could do
|
|
|
|
* ~~add some default data~~
|
|
** ~~tiles (e.g. petscii or some 'user-donated' tiles)~~
|
|
** ~~palettes~~
|
|
* add dithering options
|
|
* add camera support so users can take a pic instead of uploading an image
|
|
* add a 'smoothing' stage to remove errant pixels
|
|
* allow user to add palettes to game data
|
|
* allow user to draw to canvas |
