15b!

Because it's complicated to reason about colours for old consoles when you also want them nicely packed, in the right format; it's easier to create a tool to create a palette and export it to a file.

HOW TO

• npm i
• npm start
• ???
• make some sweet sweet palettes

Example of a palette

PALTOOL1.0.mov

const unsigned int myPal[10] = {
	0x7e327e31, 0x7e347e33, 0x7e377e35, 0x7e397e38, 0x7e3b7e3a, 0x7e3d7e3c, 0x7e3f7e3e, 0x54117e3f, 0x54137e3f, 0x54157e3f 
};

Palette in GBA

Example of a palette loaded in palram:

As you can see, our palette in the browwser is way brighter than the resulting one in no$gba; this is not because no$gba has a weird colour correction… but the GBA screen has some gamma correction we need to emulate (and nocash does it pretty well)

And then you can make very cool a e s t h e t i c s

Current features

• create a 15bit colour and add to a palette
• replace a colour by clicking on it, pick it, modify and click on swap!
• gradient tool: once you have two colours at least, open the gradient tool, select two adjacent ones, a number of steps, and OK!
• luminosity tool: when you need to lighten or darken them colours!
• export colours as a C file containing an array with all colours correctly packed – 2 by 2, little indian
• import a .pal file (WIP: must support different formats)

TODO

• MOST IMPORTANT: GBA GAMMA CORRECTION!
• randomizer?
• a proper design and UI
• modify all palette colour using some colour algos (hue? tint?)
• load palette from a .pal file?
• save and reuse palette later?
