Developer users

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.
