This looks soooo good!! 🤩 Have you ever played `Hungry Are The Dead`? It had a unique turn-based puzzle element: www.gamebrew.org/wiki/Hungry_... I also love the B/W Zombie action game for Arduboy: community.arduboy.com/t/virus-lqp-... 🧟🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

Wow! I've summoned my 2 favourite web wizards in one thread! I feel there should be like a Bacon Number... but for Terrence & Matt! 🧙‍♂️👨🏼‍💻🧙‍♂️

Probably. IIRC it's for low level tweaking and optimising every byte, so UX may not be so polished. I discovered it via @edent.tel 's project: SuperTinyIcons.

Another very interesting project!! 🤩 For low level SVG tweaking, I've used this online tool previously: yqnn.github.io/svg-path-edi...

Wow. Looks amazing!! 🤩 The boot is soooo quick- using an SGB chip?

Ah ok... matching *emulated* SNES to *emulated* GBA screen colors? So avoiding complexities of different display technologies (e.g. LCD vs CRT). Perhaps I was overthinking it! 🤩🎨

Andrew @aced.cafe · 14/07/2026
This looks great! 🤩 ...but from a nerd perspective, very curious how you decide the *correct* color? Even just converting from rgb555 has some nuance, before getting into the display intent, gamma, etc.

I'm sure it's covered... but in addition to flipping a tile H / V ('mirror'), can you shift pixels N/E/S/W to nudge an image around inside a canvas? e.g. a row of ⬛️🟥⬛️ nudged 1px right becomes ⬛️⬛️🟥 ?

Classic coding conundrum: naming things! It is tricky...

Andrew @aced.cafe · 08/07/2026
It seems a 'layer' can also be a tile (/sprite) or a frame? I wonder if it should have a more universal name like 'object' or 'item'...? 🤷🏼

Some really nice features. Looks great! 🖼️

Andrew @aced.cafe · 02/07/2026
Most basic: storing a name per 'tile' / sprite. Perhaps also a 'group' / family name... e.g. Enemy / Player / Background/ etc. I was looking at Tiled's metadata... that seems quite advanced (overkill?).

Looking forward to this! 🏁 Did you find a suitable human readable (/git diffable) file format?

Andrew @aced.cafe · 11/06/2026
So far *love* the UI/ UX. Will be digging deeper over a few days. 🤓

Nice! Purchased. 🙌✨

Nice! esp. as ImageOptim will expire with Rosetta2 support ending in future. For pro-users, will you share details on actual engine workflows and settings? e.g. what png metadata is kept /discarded? Are higher bit depths `/d2,4,8` evaluated for low-bit depth png images?

Do you still use the OG controllers? Or some other solution? 🐛

Not quite what you asked... but I like the tiny 8bitdo Micro game pads. shop.8bitdo.com/products/8bi...

Wow- deflate support would be impressive! I've sent a DM about BMP2 support.
010
Andrew @aced.cafe · 17/02/2026
Love this!!! Will you implement png compression? Otherwise, bmp2 (older format) has a smaller header and simple encoding.

Amazing! 🤩 ...but then someone is gonna want BT controller support... 🫣🎮⚡️

Yay! Hoping for the odd, muted color profile of the OG 🙌 🎨🤩 (btw Lior 'Sameboy' is great for discussing color spaces / mapping, etc.)

Andrew @aced.cafe · 23/01/2026
Would you consider releasing a CGB kit? I've avoided all others due to saturated colours... 🙏

Are the package sizes close? Wonder if you can have one PCB with 2 footprints?

Andrew @aced.cafe · 04/12/2025
In the UK too. I've seen the Japanese SGB1 for as little as £3 (~$6AUD). But I have spare MGB boards... so please don't change the CPU! 🙏😅
