tilequant

Tile-based Image Quantization Tool

Purpose

This tool is mostly meant for GBA/NDS graphics, where each 'tile' can use one of many palettes. However, it can be adapted to just about any use (for example, custom formats).

Getting started

Run make to build the tool, then call tilequant Input.bmp Output.bmp -np:(no. of palettes) -ps:(entries/palette) (eg. tilequant Input.bmp Output.bmp -np:16 -ps:16 to use all sixteen 16-colour GBA palettes).

Examples

All conversions performed with -tilepasses:500 -colourpasses:500 -dither:ord8.

Palettes	Result
