Devlogs

(late) devlog 0.21

NEXXT studio 3.6.4
A downloadable NES graphics tool for Windows

Just me catching up on some devlogging in anticipation of the upcoming version - 0.22. 

0.21 added the following:

-A new, interactive BMP importer with previews on the conversion result. Slightly more flexible in its options, and slightly improved algorithm, but above all it should be faster to use, with fewer trial-and-error cycles. 

-Sort by Detail. Measures how 'busy' with pixel detail tiles are and sorts them accordingly. 

-Find 3 closest matches. A tool for suggesting alternative choices to a tile to lay down on screen, or suggest candidates to merge when on a budget and in a pinch.  The scoring system is rather simplistic. It just looks at colour placements, and has no concept of structures, clusters, or general aesthetics. View it more as a complement to your own judgment. 

-Deselect tiles from multi-selection

Along with a few minor bugfixes. 


For 0.22 news, all i'll say right now is that the next release will have some pretty siginificant improvements.
