mega happy sprite version 1 is out!

[sigflup]

Version one of this:

is out. This is my sprite editor for the sega genesis/mega drive.
Here's the source and binaries for ubuntu and debian. Most importantly here's a tutorial on how to use the darn thing youtube I hope someone finds all my work useful.

Not a bad start, but I can tell you right now that defaulting to full-screen mode is going to piss off a lot of folk. Especially as switching to windowed mode isn't remembered the next time you run.

[sigflup]

oh! ./mega -w starts windowed mode. Maybe you're right- I'll change the default to windowed mode

EDIT: ok, the default is now windowed-mode. No saving what your preference is as of yet, I'll do that later

Hi. Long time no see

[djcouchycouch]

Good job!

Any chance you'll be porting it to Windows or Mac?

Any chance you'll be using a UI toolkit like QT? Seems like you're rolling your own.

Thanks!

Hey Oerg866!! fancy seeing you on here!

Thanks, djcouchycouch!
probably going to stick to my own gui. Porting to windows is a possibility! This forum will be the first to know if that happens.

Hey, that's very nice. I was gonna write a sprite editor but now it seems I don't have to =P

I'm gonna try to see if I can compile this on OS X - it just links to SDL, so porting this to Windows should not be too hard unless some platform specific features are going to be used.

[sigflup]

Holy crap! keep me informed if it compiles on OSX. Mind you you also need lex and perl in adition to SDL. Does OSX have the command, "xxd"? if so I can get rid of the perl dependency

Thanks! Much better.

I can confirm that xxd does exist on OSX from trying it on Terminal.app. I have not tried compiling your app yet, though, but I will try later today.

It does look like a well-made app, though. Good job.

ok, cool. I got rid of the perl dependency. I also changed the download-link, btw. since I just put it up on github. again, thank you

I googled what this message meant and it turns out that the function getdirentries is not supported on OS X Lion and newer, at least when the kernel is 64 bit. Instead, the man page suggested to use opendir and readdir instead. I might try it out and see if it works.

If you need more info, here is the man page for readdir on the apple website.
