Hmmm C64... *beurk*

Well JavaCPC can do the same with Paint... Just start Paint and drag & drop a image into it

Why does every image I drop change to shades of brown?

Bryce · 08:39, 29 June 11

The C64 code would be simple:

Load "picture.jpg"
For pixel=0 to 640
If pixel.colour = red then pixel.colour = brown
If pixel.colour = green then pixel.colour = brown
If pixel.colour = blue then pixel.colour = brown
Next pixel
end

For CPC it would obviously be more complicated.

Because it's a C64.

Image processing is simple.
Took me 15 minutes to code this crap.
How to use?
Just start it, double click into the display and load a jpg...

Not only Brown, also Grey.

Well, I tried something funny... or tragical actually...

The only almost accurate ones are perhaps 3-4 pastel colours, Black&White and the medium grey...

The funny part is that except for the grey, C64 absolutly cannot perform any true gradiant of 3 shades (+B&W)...

C64 graphicians loved to cheat with 7 levels gradiants mixing green, brown, grey and blue... WTF ?

I added (just for fun) the CPC conversion, too...
Here you go:
(Double click with right mousebutton: Toggle C64 / CPC mode)
Double click with left mousebutton: Load a jpg...

Of course this works online, too:

Just allow the applet.
You can drag & drop image files into the C64/CPC screen

Does your C64-izer correctly limit the number of colours in each 4x8 pixel tile according to how the C64 does graphics?

You might find the conversions getting more and more ... brown!

No.... It's just a simple piece of crap. It uses simple image processing.

I attached the latest file which contains a few options and you can save the image now as .png file.

Small change: "Load" is the button you should use to load a image... Double click with left mousebutton toggles between C64 and CPC
Double click with right MB?
