Objective 1.12 [Tools/Graphics]

Made by: TwoHeaded Software
Released: 2002-08-17
Link: http://www.taswegian.com/TwoHeaded/objective.html

Objective is a tool which converts frames of graphics to OBJs for use on the GBA. Large frames are converted into matrices of smaller-OBJs. Placement of OBJs is optimised to reduce the total number of OBJs used to define the original frame. Reported results indicate a space-saving of 40 percent on original data!

This tool is command-line driven, and is intended primarily for use through calls from a makefile environment. It takes graphics data (BMP, PNG, JPG) as input, and outputs a C source-file containing a packed/optimised representation of that graphics data suitable for display as OBJ metasprites on the GBA machine.

A metasprite is simply a sprite built up from a number of smaller sprites (=OBJs).
