Pocket Platformer to SMS
Post Posted: Wed Oct 18, 2023 8:22 pm
Hello, again;

I am currently trying to create a tool to convert projects made in "Pocket Platformer" into Sega Master System ROMs.

First, I created a tool that converts Pocket Platformer projects into Tiled tilesets and maps: https://github.com/haroldo-ok/pocket-platformer-exporter

And now, I am implementing a script to convert the Tiled tileset + maps into something the SMS can digest: https://github.com/haroldo-ok/pocket-platformer-to-sms

That's so cool!

Does Pocket Platformer just provide an environment for level design - i.e. is the sprite animation, etc. just fixed and built in?

Thanks!

AFAIK, Pocket Platformer allows one to customize the animations but with only up to two frames.

Hello! Version 0.3 is now available.

It is starting to display the sprites, but some of their tiles are incorrect.
