usage -> splitsdl.exe <pngimage>

the software is supposed to handle PNG pictures of 384 pixels width and any height from 16 to 273 pixels

IF not, a crappy resize will be done (NOT recommended)


Keyboard in quantization mode:

+/- to change current hardware sprite selection
T to enable/disable squares around hardware sprites
G to generate scr and asm files
L -> lock the bitmap and go to pixel edition mode
ESC to quit

Keyboard in pixel edition mode:

U -> unlock the bitmap, all handdrawings are lost
cursor to move current pixelleft shift + cursor to speed up a little
space to apply current selected color
keypad . and 0 (OCP style) to change current selected color
and again G to generate scr and asm files
B to put a background pixel over a sprite hard (enable transparency and put background color when inside an HSP)

ESC to quit

The software was presented during a Twitch live session

Here is a capture of the tool and two CPC+ cartridges so you may test yourself the performance


outputed files with a <file>.png image:
- <file>.xml settings file
- <file>.sc1 & <file>.sc2 binaries for screen files
- <file>.spr file for HSP data (packed 4+4bits)
- <file>.asm file for raster code
- <file>cpr.asm in ordre to generate a ready to use cartridge (use RASM to compile it!)

Looks promising !!!  :o

The results are stunning !
Great work roudoudou !

This looks astounding!

Hope it gets to be released to all CPC users one day.  :)

I was there !
That was awesome  :o The Plus palette really does the job with a the pastel / yellowish colours of the Assassin Creed overview  8)
I'm wondering if you can use it in its full strength to convert a picture particularly optimized for your algorithm, with a slow gradient in hue (I'm thinking about a sunset).
Also, have you tried it with some graphics tailored for "scientific" value (if not for aesthetics ^^), changing 4 colours every line to a total exceeding 1000 in full screen ? (which shall be only a quarter of the Plus capabilities !)
Great job !

HUGE Thanks to Thomas/Lone for windows compilation tips!
win64 exe in the first post and a small documentation
This is a perfectible version, i'm still on a better compensation for HSP ;)
Have fun and do not hesitate to post your own CPR in this topic! 8)

Seems great. have you planned a CPC old version ? Or the number of available colors is a limitation ?
I already have a huge algo for the regular CPC but the latest IMPdraw version discouraged me to finalize the code generator.
With only 27 différents colors it's more a graphist job

Is it magic ? :-*
It's science b1tch ! And maybe a little empiricism (for the color decision algo especially designed for 12 to 16 color reduction!)
For the record i did not use octree like all existing softwares
It's a mix of Voronoi with max distance and all maths are done in a "supercube" of 4K cells but every cells of this supercube contains one or more "superpixels" with 16M precision

Arf, you lost me on the way!

So if I properly understood, it's magic that's it?

it is not incompatible ;) The graphist draw with these constraints and your tool make the transfer.I'm pretty sure that it is impossible to do an easy to use/ergonomic painting program that take into account rasters/split rasters.

As I am too stupid (And do not speak french) I cannot work out how this works... I mean I am unable to get it to save any ASM files for compilation. so I have to live with other peoples image conversions. and those are just WOW!

working on levels (more agressive than contrast but sometime useful)

also new realtime histograms + outputed color map
