Color Cell Converter
What is this?
I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfh0ytz8S0k ('How "oldschool" graphics worked Part 1 - Commodore and Nintendo' by "The 8-bit Guy")
I thought it was interesting and I wanted to make something, for practice with Go.
How to use
go install or go build
color-cell-converter -i inputFile -o outputFile ...

Problem(s)
- Green tends to be sparse in the converted images.
- Pictures of big, green fields seem to end up either brown or dark blue.
- The color weighting may be off to some degree.
- I will either try to make it more accurate or just let the user adjust it themselves.
- It could also be the palettes' limited color selection.
