Convert
=======
This is the bullfrog amiga iff convert program. It will take an
iff file and convert it into a data file containing a number of sprites
of set height,16 pixels wide and with a mask. The sprite format is the
same as that used by the bullfrog programming tutorial, so you can use
it to put your own graphics in the bullfrog tutorial demo game, or even
in your own game.
To use the utility type convert at the cli prompt.You will then be
prompted to enter the following information.
1. Input Filename, must be an amiga iff file.
2. Name of data file to output.
3. Height of all the sprites to be cut from the iff file.
4. The number of sprites (blocks) to cut from the iff file.
When all this has been entered the sprites will be cut out and saved
and the program will return to the first question. Simply press return to
exit.
The sprites will be cut out from the top left to top right, the 21st
to 39th sprite are cut from left to right from positions immediatly under
sprites 1 to 20. Each iff file should contain sprites of the same height.
