REXSpeeder

A cross-platform C++ library for loading and saving REXPaint files quickly.

Think of REXSpeeder as the glue between REXPaint and your project.

Features:

• Really fast.
• Simple API.
• Can export valid .xp files.

Installation

See INSTALL for instructions on how to use REXSpeeder for your project.

Usage

Say we have an image in REXPaint, "nyan.xp":

In this image, the cat is on layer 2, and the blue background and star are on layer 1. Then, after #include <REXSpeeder.h>,

xp::RexImage nyan("nyan.xp");

nyan.flatten();

for (int x = 0; x < nyan.getWidth(); x++) {
	for (int y = 0; y < nyan.getHeight(); y++) {
		xp::RexTile original = *nyan.getTile(0, x, y);
		xp::RexTile modified = original;

		modified.fore_red = original.fore_blue;
		modified.fore_blue = original.fore_green;
		modified.fore_green = original.fore_red;

		nyan.setTile(0, x, y, modified);
	}
}
nyan.save("cat.xp");

we have a new file, "cat.xp", which can be loaded in REXPaint:

See example/ for the source code and a Visual Studio project to build it. If you're using CMake, the example is built along with the library.

REXSpeeder functions are documented in include/REXSpeeder.h.
