This project is a small desktop program that converts image files to Hack assembly files. The assembly file is to be run on a Hack simulator/computer, where the code will output the original image to its screen. For more information on the Hack computer, take a look at nand2tetris.
Since the Hack screen has only two possible values for each pixel, it can basically output binary images to it. So once you load an image to img2hack, the program will give you the possibility to fine-tune the conversion from non-binary to binary image over a graphical user interface.

...and if you want to assemble the generated code into a Hack binary you can also use my assembler.
The following list enumerates the tools and dependencies' minimum requirements:
- C++11 compiler
- CMake 3.2
- Magick++ 7.0
- Qt5 Widgets
Run cmake to configure the native tools (preferably an out of source configuration) and then run the build. Here is an example in Linux:
img2hack$ mkdir build
img2hack$ cd build
img2hack/build$ cmake ..
img2hack/build$ cmake --build .
