Hires to character set conversion
Hi,
Back in the day I wrote a short program that converted a hires picture into a character set (of course checking if a similar 8x8 block already exists to save space), but I just can't find it anywhere and I imagine there must be similar programs out there, possibly even for Windows platform? I have my mono color picture in Multipaint, so it would be convinient if the conversion app would understand Art Studio format (or PNG). Am I in luck? |

The one I use is Logo Editor. A quick search and looking at screenshots shows me this one. I'm pretty sure there are better ones out there, but it works for me. |

This can also do it: Bonzai PicConv V4.0 - It is written for Windows but can run under Wine too... |

@Flotsam: Did you ever spread that program? Any recollection of the file name? Maybe we can dig it up somewhere. :-) |

Problem with many of the editors and converters are that they are often limited to one platform (windows, I use a reduced linux laptop for development), and does not give you the amount of freedom that one would like (imho). For this reason I use C++/ImageMagick++ for this, not very hard, and provides control of both input and output format (in addition to any post-processing needed). |

@Flotsam: I have a webtool that does support that. Haven't opensourced it or made public yet, but I am willing to give you access if you wanna try. |
