In an attempt to speed up the sprite creation for my pokemon demo, I found a tutorial to create a
program that will read and write data to BMP image files.
Below are the two videos I followed along with to create the program you will be using/implementing
The program files you see in this repository are copied line for line from the videos above
However, the code used in the videos/program files can be easily modified to be used in other projects
I know I've already stated this but I feel it useful to mention again before reading about each program
These programs by themself have little to no functionality and were just mini projects I used so I could
learn how to read and write BMP image files.
The code in these programs can be adapted for various implementations that you will see in other projects of mine
BmpTutorinal.cpp is the test program written in the tutorial that will create a rainbow gradient square
This sqare is saved to a specific file declared in image.export()
//Instance of Image struct creating a width x height sized image
Image image(width, height)
//Do some work with image instance
//Writes data to specified file
//Will create file if file doesn't exist
image.Export("<filename>.bmp")After compiling BmpTutorial.cpp, the image file specified when calling .Export() should be saved
in the same directory where the program ran and should look like the image below
There isn't really a program I can write that shows you it read the BMP file properly,
but the reading functionality can be seen in other programs I have created
In particular, my Pokemon demo utilizes BMP image file reading
