See also the Makefile.

For better or worse, this project uses the following jargon:

grid
The plain text, human-more-friendly representation of the
image.
tile
A single square for use as a reusable image file.
sprite
The rendered image from a grid(s) and tile(s).
image_data
The RGB data used to generate the tile(s).

And I want to migrate to use these terms, without using the word "map" or "tile" because they have many meanings:

sprite
A 2d array of pixels, default to 8x8.
pallet
The colour key for each pixel.
sheet
The available, reusable graphics.
grid
Commonly referred to as ascii art.
key
A hardcoded translation from the grid to the appropriate
location on the sheet.
image
The rendering of a grid using the sheet.

In addtion to that, each graphic will have three stages:

  • ascii art
  • RGB
  • rendered image

For sprite_lengths greater than 8x8, currently 32x32 in the game, there will need to be an intermediate step to render based on lower res sprites and/or some validation when rendering so sprite lengths match the ascii input.
