I'm actually surprized that so few people commented on this one, and i just wanted to say a big thanks to you Lux for making our lives easier dealing and managing all these putpixel commands ;)

Hi alex,

Luxs program is great. However later you will find you can load pngs straight from the GDI which is easier.

I know use directx sprites which are even easier to use. Working on a small game now, but still have to finish my model before I can carry on with it heh heh.

Thank you so so much for making this! I was going crazy thinking about the sprites I would have to manually make, Thanks a lot ^-^

Hi guys,
did I miss something ? I can download the EXE / rar file of this code at the beginning of this thread, but I do not find the VB code itself, despite the fact that some of you are talking about this code...

Sorry to say, but LuX hasn't been active in these forums for three years now. I don't think he ever posted the full source code, but on page two or three he posted a snippet of the code. If you are specifically looking for VB code then I'm not sure what to say, but chili does have a sprite conversion to the mass putpixel calls written in C++ called fukbmp. His source code is downloadable from that thread.

While at it, did LuX ever release his"Purity" somewhere?

Here is a simple single-file program that will convert images to putpixel code. It should be easy enough to modify to suit various purposes.

Code: Select all

#define NOMINMAX
#include <windows.h>
#include <algorithm>
namespace Gdiplus
{
    using std::min;
    using std::max;
}
#include <gdiplus.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <experimental\filesystem>

#pragma comment(lib,"gdiplus.lib")

namespace fs = std::experimental::filesystem::v1;
namespace gdi = Gdiplus;

const std::string in_path = "images";
const std::string out_path = "code";
const std::string out_ext = ".txt";
const gdi::Color alphakey( 192,192,192 );

int main()
{
    gdi::GdiplusStartupInput gdiplusStartupInput;
    ULONG_PTR gdiplusToken;
    gdi::GdiplusStartup( &gdiplusToken,&gdiplusStartupInput,nullptr );

    for( const auto& e : fs::directory_iterator( in_path ) )
    {        
        if( e.status().type() == fs::_File_type::regular )
        {
            const fs::path p = e;
            if( p.extension() == ".png" )
            {
                std::ofstream out_file( out_path + "\\" + p.stem().generic_string() + out_ext );
                gdi::Bitmap bitmap( p.c_str() );

                for( size_t y = 0; y < bitmap.GetHeight(); y++ )
                {
                    for( size_t x = 0; x < bitmap.GetWidth(); x++ )
                    {
                        gdi::Color pixel;
                        bitmap.GetPixel( x,y,&pixel );
                        if( pixel.GetValue() != alphakey.GetValue() )
                        {
                            out_file << "\tgfx.PutPixel( " << x << " + x," << y << " + y,"
                                << int( pixel.GetR() ) << "," 
                                << int( pixel.GetG() ) << "," 
                                << int( pixel.GetB() ) << " );\n";
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    gdi::GdiplusShutdown( gdiplusToken );
    return 0;
}
