Greetings Forum, I have a question.
[ im using gbdk]
Does anyone here know if there’s any tool(s) that allow me to turn a png into GBC C language background data BUT also reduces colors in each tile automatically?
Each tool i’ve found works by either either requiring there to be 4 colours per tile in the png already (which it then spits out to palette & attribute data), or it merely turns the whole image into a 4 colour, 1 palette gameboy background. Both of these are great, and the latter especially for DMG stuff - but for more colourfully complex backgrounds (intended for GBC only games), I’m looking to just chuck a properly sized png into a tool, and it gives me a handful of palettes and tile attributes that are roughly the colours of the original image, instead of having to manually reduce colours down to 4 per tile by hand.
Does anyone here know of any tool(s) that work like this? And if so, where can I find this? I think there should be something like this available out there judging from other GBC games I’ve seen…
Regards, George
