This project aims to recreate pixel arts as close as possible to a given image but with a limited color palette. In this case it is working with the color palette of the Drednot's Colored Panel but technically it should not have any issues to work with any other palette given it is in the right json format.

# Information
This project aims to recreate pixel arts as close as possible to a given image but with a limited color palette. By default, it is working with the color palette of the [Drednot's](https://drednot.io) Colored Panel, so technically it should not have any issues to work with any other palette given it is in the right json format.
Features:
- Resizing of images
- Scaling of the pixel art
- Option to show the IDs of the colors
- Preview & export images in different color spaces using different color palettes
- Available color spaces and algorithms: RGB, HSV, CIEDE2000, CIELAB76, CIELAB94
- You can import your own palette as long as it follows the expected json format. (Check the default ones in src/main/resources/palettes)
- Export the color numbers in CSV format which can then be converted into A4 pdf pages using [this script](https://gist.github.com/Ivstiv/a4b8a82e48617d82db9042a9fd740f98)

# Usage and Download
You can download the compiled jar bundled with all dependencies from [here](https://github.com/Ivstiv/pixelart-converter/releases/tag/2.1).
The UI is pretty self-explanatory,
just don't feed the program large images. It is supposed to work with pixel arts with 1 to 1 ratio e.g sprites.
# Project Setup
In order to setup the project you will need:
- JDK 8+
- Maven
- IntelliJ
Compilation:
```mvn package```
Run the compiled jar:
```java -jar target/pixelart-converter-2.0.jar```
Or what I do is just run both of them in bash:
```mvn package && java -jar target/pixelart-converter-2.0.jar```
# Planned features
If there is interest I can continue working on the project and add more features to it such as:
- Better color matching algorithms
- Exposing more offsets to the UI
- Adding support for wider variety of images
- Add documentation
- Command line support for exporting (will make the program easy to integrate with a web stack)
- Open to ideas
