Piskel C to Bin converter

Created for the Commander X16

A help for importing sprites, tiles and bitmaps into your CommanderX16 application. Be sure to select the correct number of bits per pixel.
The palette in CX16 is not altered so to get correct colors, use one of the palettes supplied below.

Use it like this:

• Go to piskelapp.com, this is an online, easy and userfriendly tool for drawing pixel art.
• In Piskel, load the Commodore C64 palette included here or the Commander X16 default palette here
• Draw your sprite,tile- or bitmap in Piskel, use multiple frames to do animation (the black color will be transparent)
• Export your graphics from Piskel as a C source file
• Use the form below to upload your C file and get a .bin file instead
• Load the binary file in your project.

If you are using ACME assembler, you can inlude a binary file like this:

_mytiles:	!bin	"mytiles.bin"

But then you should probably leave the address field empty.
Remember that you need to copy the data to VRAM, otherwise VERA can't access it.

If you use SETLFS,SETNAM,LOAD to load the binary data directly to VRAM, you must
enter a value in the address field even if you are not going to use it.

Every byte in the binary file contains two pixels (4bpp = 4 bits per pixel). Example:
If you have made a series of tiles that are 16x16 pixels, every tile will be (16x16)/2 = 128 bytes.
This means that the second tile can be addressed at _mytiles+128, the third at _mytiles+256 and so forth.

Conversion routine is a rewrite of the .net application found at https://github.com/joolin1/CommanderX16/.
