# B16Converter
|
||
|
|
A converter to/from the B16/BMX bitmap format being developed for the Commander X16
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Building
|
||
|
|
This program requires ImageMagick, and Magick++ (which may come with ImageMagick)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Steps:
|
||
|
|
1. Clone the repo
|
||
|
|
2. cd into the repo directory
|
||
|
|
3. Run meson setup builddir
|
||
|
|
4. Run meson compile -C builddir
|
||
|
|
5. The binary is (Repo directory)/builddir/b16converter(.exe)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
Run the binary with the -in option specifying the input file and the -out option specifying the desired output file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use -reverse to convert B16 to a PC graphics format
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Check the flags with -help
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Testing
|
||
|
|
Use the test.sh script from an environment with Bash available to automatically convert PACK.png and TEST.png to B16 at various resolutions and bitdepths, with and without dithering. It also converts back to PNG from the B16 files to test that functionality.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you have .b16 files, you can test it with my B16 viewer inside the X16 emulator.
