Documentation: Adding Extended Tiles to apoplexy

Post by Norbert »

This document, useful only to programmers, explains how to add extended tiles to apoplexy. Examples of extended tiles are SDLPoP's fake tiles, and MININIM's big poison potion. I don't expect anyone to add more extended tiles to apoplexy, but at least now there's a proper how-to.

Just by curiosity why you decided to add this information, there is some extension of apoplexy planned in SDLPOP??

I created the document because as the application's programmer I'm the person for whom it's easiest to figure out and explain(*) all that is necessary to add extended tiles to apoplexy. I chose to write down this information now and not later because I too are likely to forget details over the years. I've personally stopped working on apoplexy, but I'm aware it's still being used and therefore I want to provide other people with proper documentation regarding - and thus options to expand - some of the program's functionalities.

(*) The English language has no proper equivalent for the Dutch word "uiteenzetten".

Yes, i like the idea of extending the compatibility to custom engines, i have tried myself with Prince of Persia Net, and got good results, but i was not able to include those custom tiles, now with this guide, i think will be easy to do, will try it when achieve my apoplexy to snes converter..
