# Character-Bitmap-Editor
|
||
|
|
A Character ROM Editor for the LS7 Computer, written in Python 3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Being written in Python, this editor is multi-platform.
|
||
|
|
It's based on this program: https://www.min.at/prinz/o/software/pixelfont
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# .bmf file type
|
||
|
|
'.bmf' literally stands for 'Bit Map File'.
|
||
|
|
It holds the drawn characterset as raw bytes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Different from the "Raw Bytes" output file,
|
||
|
|
by having a small info header at the start,
|
||
|
|
but almost identical.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Exporting
|
||
|
|
The Program supports, exporting to an Assambler Include
|
||
|
|
(for the people whom may desire),
|
||
|
|
a C byte array or just a raw binary file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Converted binary file, will be 2k or 4k in size
|
||
|
|
