WISH: Generate Art/Class catalog... #141

Open frandallfarmer opened 7 years ago

It'd be great (for multiple reasons) if we could have a visual dump of all the art resources on the Caribe B disk.

One way to do this would be to translate mix.m to Javascript so that we can "render" the images into a reasonable modern file format (GIF or PNG with transparency would allow for the most reuse.)

I found these slides that describe the method: https://www.slideshare.net/norbert_kehrer/static-binary-translationjsmeetupslides

... I'm so tempted, but this is a perfect task for a JS engineer ...

Should be easier than shown, as Macross conditionals already deal with most of the branching problems.

Linking to mix.m incase anyone would still like to pick up this task.

This isn't ready to close yet but @SpindleyQ on Slack has made amazing progress with their tool to extract Habitat image data and display it in a modern format.

Source code: https://git.information-superhighway.net/SpindleyQ/inhabitor

Working demo: https://www.information-superhighway.net/inhabitor/

I'm not sure what license the source code uses but assuming it's compatible, we should check it into one of our habitat related repositories so it doesn't get lost.
