# Golden Axe Explorer

Parser/extractor for the graphic files from the PC version of the Golden Axe game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Axe

It was lying on my hard drive for almost 2 years now and I didn't really moved forward with writing a proper blog post. I figured I will just put the sources on GitHub. The explorer UI is very similar to the one I wrote for the Mortal Kombat.

Required python libraries:

- Pillow

- Kaitai Struct

Running:

```

pip install pillow

pip install kaitaistruct

python tkgui.py

```

Supported file formats:

- SPR - sprites ![](pics/amazon.png)

- CHR - tiles for the MAP files ![](pics/level3_tiles.png)

- MAP - levels ![](pics/level3.png)

MAP file format has a few more bits and pieces that I never finished (like markers for the walkable areas etc).
