-
- These are four utilities that make it easier to create "sprites"
- and "backgrounds" for "Shoot'Em Up Construction Kit" (published
- by Accolade on their Advantage label). Although SEUCK is a very
- powerful program to let your create your own arcade games it's
- graphics editor is very basic. These utilities let you create
- sprite (.SPR) and background (.BGD) files with Deluxe Paint or
- other paint programs.
-
- The utilities are:
-
- IFF2SPR -- Converts a 320 x 240 8 color picture file into a
- .SPR file that SEUCK can use. Just set the page size in DPaint
- to 320 x 240. Then draw your sprites as objects in a 32x24 grid.
- Since SEUCK's sprites are 24 pixels wide, leave an 8 pixel width
- blank border on the right side of each grid. You might want to
- convert an existing .SPR file using SPR2IFF to see what I mean.
-
- Usage: IFF2SPR <IFF file> <destination .SPR file>
-
-
- SPR2IFF -- Converts a SEUCK .SPR file back to a 320 x 240 8
- color IFF picture file.
-
- Usage: SPR2IFF <.SPR file> <destination IFF file>
-
-
- IFF2BGD -- Converts an 320 x 480 8 color IFF file to a SEUCK
- .BGD file. Each tile of the background is 32x32. Again you
- might want to convert an existing .BGD file to IFF to see its
- layout.
-
- Usage: IFF2BGD < IFF file> <destination .BGD>
-
- BGD2IFF -- Converts a .BGD (backgound) file to a 320 x 480 8
- color IFF file that can be loaded into DPaint.
-
- Usage: BGD2IFF < .BGD file> <destinatiion IFF file>
-
- I hope you find these tools useful. Let's see what wonderful
- and bizarre creations you can come up with.
