Requires mouse & keyboard
This started off as: "I wonder if I can get the ZX Spectrum font into pico-8?"
I then realised that 16 chars per line isn't particularly practical, and wrote a font editor.
Features:
- edit, save, export fonts for use in pico-8
- change width & height of font characters
- adjust width per character
- cut, copy, paste, undo, nudge
- 8 internal save slots
- exports a .txt file to desktop that will run in pico-8 to use the font in other projects
- uses ZX Spectrum font as initial template
Limitations:
- save/export won't work in browser
- only edits the main 96 characters (i.e. Spectrum font)
- no undo on the file screen!
- fonts are saved internally to cart rom on exiting the file screen, cart must be saved to keep changes.
- can't load external fonts
- exported code is verbose, but I wanted to keep things readable.
That is very cool-can't wait to use this tool for a new game. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks both, hope you find it useful. I was going to clear the save slots before posting, but forgot. I guess it doesn't hurt to have an example or two!
wow I've been needing something like this. I would personally like if it could edit all characters though. Which is 256-16 or something like that?
