mosaic

Script for combining four anim GIFs into one 2x2 mosaic. Made for tweeting nice combined screenshots of your PICO-8 projects.

The script assumes the input files are 256x256 (this is the default in PICO-8) animated GIFs of the same duration (and same frame rate). Please edit the script in case you want different dimensions.

You need to have Imagemagick installed!

Example

1. Save four GIFs in PICO-8 by pressing F9.
2. You can rename the saved GIFs as something like 1.gif, 2.gif etc.
3. Run mosaic.bat or mosaic.sh with the GIFs as input parameters as follows: mosaic.bat 1.gif 2.gif 3.gif 4.gif output.gif (the input files go from top left to bottom right)
4. The script runs for a while and outputs the mosaic in a bit.
5. Tweet the GIF and you will get tons of retweets.
