a homebrew pixel art program for the GBA (and DS) !

pixelarter

an introduction

pixelarter is a small pixel art program for the GBA !
theres a DS version as well but its pretty shitty :|

its pretty primitive and a lil tedious at times-
it uses bitmaps instead of tiles :| and it lacks some qol features like holding down directions.

ooh also u cant rlly save ur work srry :( maybe with saves tho ... hm ...

GBA controls

pixel arter is very simple to use :D
as soon as you start, you are presented with a blank canvas uwu

the controls are as following:

  - MOVE            D-Pad
  - DRAW            Button A
  - ERASE           Button B
  - SWITCH COLOR    Buttons R / L
  - CLEAR CANVAS    Select

DS controls

this pixel arter is fucking shit. utter garbage.
youre better off using a GBA hypervisor if ur planning to use this on ur DS.
if ur gonna use this version anyways i hope u like hot neon lime.

the controls are as following:

  - MOVE            D-Pad
  - DRAW            Button A
  - ERASE           Button B
  - CLEAR CANVAS    Button X

building

to build these from source, u need devkitpro.

• you need the devkitpro version for the console ur building for ofc.

then you can open the folder of pixelarter-[console] and do make !

though are u rlly gonna do all that for some dumbass pixelart program ...
just go and download the binaries for ur own sake.
