The repo contains the source for gd2asset and gd3assets - command-line tools
for converting graphics, fonts and sound for Gameduino 2, 3 and 3X.
Also included is the Python gameduino2 module.
Pre-built executables for Windows are available at:
usage:
gd2asset <options> <assets>
gd3asset <options> <assets>
-3 target GD3 (FT810 series) - set by gd3asset
-d dither all pixel conversions
-f <name> output asset file (default is header file)
-o <name> output header file
If no output header file is given, then "default_assets.h" is used
Each asset is a filename, optionally followed by some var=val
assignments. For example:
pic1.png image, format ARGB4
pic2.jpg,format=L8 image, format L8
serif.ttf,size=16 font, 16 pixels high
Options for the file types:
jpg,png,bmp,gif:
format L1 L2 L4 L8 RGB332 ARGB2 ARGB4 RGB565 ARGB1555. Default ARGB4
ttf,otf
size height in pixels. Default 12
format L1 L2 L4 L8 RGB332 ARGB2 ARGB4 RGB565 ARGB1555. Default ARGB4
topchar maximum ASCII code encoded. Default 127
wav
(no options)
The assets are compiled into flash, or if the "-f" option is given
into a file. In this case the file should be copied to the
microSD card.
In either case, calling LOAD_ASSETS() from the program loads all
assets.
To test run go, it should produce:

To install do:
python setup.py sdist
twine upload dist/*
To build the Windows executables, do:
pyinstaller --onefile scripts/gd2asset
pyinstaller --onefile scripts/gd3asset
Also here is video-convert, the Linux script for converting videos
to the MJPEG AVI format that can be decoded by the BT81x chip.
See the script itself for usage details.
