Converter from BMP to Intellivision Background/Foreground format

v1.2.0 Apr/15/2021 by Oscar Toledo G. http://nanochess.org

Usage:

intycolor image.bmp image.asm [label]

Creates image for use with assembler code

intycolor -b [-n] [-p] [-i] image.bmp image.bas [label]

Creates image for use with IntyBASIC code

-n Removes stub code for display in IntyBASIC mode

-p Uses PRINT in IntyBASIC mode

-o20 Initial offset for cards is 20 (0-63 is valid)

-m Tries to use MOBs for more than 2 colors per card

-c Doesn't use constants.bas for -m option

-i Generates BITMAP statements instead of DATA

-i2 Generates BITMAP statements using X and .

-r output.bmp Generate BMP report of conversion in file

red = error, green = GRAM, yellow = GROM

grey = MOB

-g clue.txt Exact clues for -m, text file up to 8 lines:

x,y,color[,x_zoom(1-2),y_zoom(1-4),0/1]

The final 0/1 indicates 8x8 or 8x16

Suggestion: run with empty text file and

option -r to see what cards require MOBs

-x p/grom.bin Path and file for grom.bin, by default it

searches in current path for grom.bin

-fx Flip image along the X-coordinate (mirror)

-fy Flip image along the Y-coordinate

-a All 8x8 cards as continuous bitmap in output,

doesn't generate card data.

-e45d2 Replace color 4 with 5 and d with 2 before process,

useful to recreate same image with other colors.

-d Process image in chunks of 16 pixels high, useful

to create MOB bitmaps.

-v Process 8x8 cards in vertical direction first.

Useful for horizontal scrolling bitmaps and -a option.

-k4 Add 4 blank cards to generated data

-kx4 Pad generated data to a multiple of 4 cards

-q16 Define bitmaps in blocks of 16 cards (default)

When not using music player in IntyBASIC, limit is 18

When using ECS Music player in IntyBASIC, limit is 13

-t Tutorvision mode (GRAM supports 256 defined shapes)

Only available for Color Stack mode.

By default intycolor creates images for use with Intellivision

Background/Foreground video format, you can use 8 primary

colors and 16 background colors for each 8x8 block.

Using the flag -s0123 creates images for use with Color Stack

mode, the 0123 can be replaced with the sequence of colors

you'll program in the Color Stack registers (hexadecimal 0-f)

intycolor will warn you if your image cannot be represented

by a real Intellivision

If you add the plus sign (for example -s0000+) it will try to

to replace solid 4x4 blocks with Colored Squares cards

(allowing 4 colors per 8x8 block).

It can use GROM characters if you provide grom.bin in current

directory.

It requires a BMP file of 8/24/32 bits, remember Intellivision

screen is a fixed size of 160x96 pixels but this utility will

accept any multiple of 8 pixels in X,Y coordinates.

The -a option is for working over monochrome bitmaps and

generating a continous bitmap for scrolling with more than

the limit of GRAM definitions (the program must define the

bitmaps as the scrolling goes on).
