Sprite / Background Viewer

[jester]

I viewer so that you could see your sprites/baclgrounds and what they would look like on a ds before making it an NDS and stuff would be very cool! and a help for many DSLua developers an emulator is good but it isnt supporting full screen so some graphics are harder to see.

FINALLY, something for me to do! I'm on it!

And emulators are the same size as DS screens unless you have an enlarger (which none have yet). So they are just as hard to see as the DS

excellent when can we expect a beta or something it sems like an exciting task!

i am happy 2 help!

[daltonlaffs]

OK, beta's done!

Didn't take long at all to finish this one. Just copy these files into... whatever you run scripts with and run spritecheck.lua.

On the screen where you type in your sprite's name, TYPE THE NAME WITHOUT AN EXTENSION. Both your .raw and .pal files must have the same basename. Type that.

After the sprite is loaded, here are the controls:

D-Pad: Move sprite
L/R: Up/Down the Framestrip

Enjoy,

P.S. You can't exit it yet... I'll fix that sometime

i was expecting an .exe sort of thing though

[daltonlaffs]

Ah. Well, it's probably possible, but I don't know the encoding of GBFS... any other takers?
