TMGFX is an editor that allows creating textmode graphics. Select a tile, foreground color, background color, and start drawing! You can press ctrl + e to export the image as a png. (!Though, for the BBS, this just puts it into /appdata/bbs/tmgfx/textmode/ and I don't see a good way to extract it.) You can find out more by opening the readme text file from the menu button on the top left.
(for the desktop version of picotron 0.1.1e, there seems to be a small issue with loading the cart, requiring the version number. so instead use #tmgfx-5 or bbs://tmgfx-5.p64)
The textmode rendering system that the editor is built on isn't completely ready for outside use yet for other games or applications. I'll likely make it available during version 0.2.0 of TMGFX. Mostly needing to work on making it easier to use and more closely mirror picotron's draw functions. There's still a few features I'm planning to add to TMGFX, but I'm open to some suggestions.
Here are a few pieces I made with the editor, including the one I did for the Picoview 2024 Q4 issue.
