emkay Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) As it looked like a reliable tool to import graphics to the A8 (G2F). Seeing this picture in the other thread, I again had some "Gr.9" idea, but again limits were extensive. Here the picture, using less than 128 colours of the A8 palette at the resolution of 160x239 Feel free to analyze it. There are almost less than 20 different colours per scanline. So the picture could be done with kernel programming... without any interlace or flicker... The hope was, Quantizator would go that way...

ilmenit Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I do not have time to work on this tool. If you program in C/C++ I can share the sources, however both in-line color changes and PMG color changes very complicate already difficult problem of color quantization. Maybe with some genetic programming or hill-climbing algorithms it would be possible to find the proper color changes. The brute-force approach is impossible to apply.

snicklin Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Hi Ilmenit, I'm a C programmer (is there C++ in there too?). Why don't you just release the source code on here for people to experiment with? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenit Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Source code with Visual Studio 2005 project attached. The external dependencies are: Allegro (I used version 4.2), FreeImage. Quantizator-src.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
