Super Metroid Hitbox Viewer
This is a simple hitbox viewer for Super Metroid. It reads game memory over a socket, using either usb2snes or the retroarch network command protocol.
Usage
If you are using usb2snes:
./sm_hitbox_viewer.py --usb2snes
If you are using retroarch:
./sm_hitbox_viewer.py --retroarch
Keys
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| q | Quit |
| j | Navigate down |
| k | Navigate up |
| h | Navigate left |
| l | Navigate right |
| r | Reset view |
Limitations
Currently the program only shows a simple hex represenatation of the room tile map. It makes no attempt yet to read the BTS map. This is good enough for basic out-of-bounds navigation.
Reading game memory from fxpak/sd2snes is probably slow, though it may be fast enough for simple out-of-bounds hitbox viewing.
Thanks
Thanks to supermetroidftp and others for the lua hitbox viewer for bizhawk. This program started as a port of that script to python.
