@guerrillarain Good luck!

I'm a little demoralised right now. I might need to rethink my approach. Maybe tomorrow I'll regroup and try again.

I hope I see this through until it gets to be actually useful! My hope is to write the definitive cross-platform tile editor. I've seen other projects do Windows and macOS builds of #PyQt software, so I should be able to do it too!

Doing my little part to push #NESdev off Windows. It's so weird to me to see an entire homebrew software culture on Windows!

Actually, I just felt like dusting off some of the baby gnu's wardrobe and play dressup again. I need to start planning this year's Halloween costume too.

@revolverocelot Oh, thanks, but I meant, "new avatar who dis".

@revolverocelot Btw, I've been terribly confused all day by this new avatar in my feed. I'll get used to it, I'm sure.

@11011110 Would you call this combinatorial design? It seems to have that flavour.

@rainwarrior is this you?

I need #Qt help now.

I've managed to implement changing the palette for all tiles, but it's slow. :-((( This doesn't seem worthy of being called "tilerswift" at the moment.

Maybe it was the wrong method to begin with. I set up an image, then make that image the pixmap of a bunch of QLabel objects. So I guess doing this for all 16384 tiles of this ROM is th slow part? I'm not sure how else to do it.

#NESdev progress report:

OMG I'm so excited, look at me, I'm actually building a #Qt GUI for editing tiles. This is coming along a lot better than I expected! Qt is pretty nice! I now have a grid of tiles and each thing in the grid knows its tile contents.

I'm calling it tilerswift 'cause that name got stuck in my head and it's a tiler program for tiles and it should be nimble and quick.

@penduin I don't know what's going on, but when I avoided the koopas before the pipe and didn't kill any, the plant spawned.

@penduin Let's see, you're right, I can't spawn a plant either at 3-2...

@penduin Oh, yes, that happens in other levels. Too many enemies despawn some others.

Not just plants, you can despawn other things.

@hannah Hey, welcome back!

@penduin Hahaha, I did the *exact same thing* when I learned about this.

So, it turns out that every pipe in #SuperMarioBrothers 1 has a piranha plant except for the pipes in 1-1. This is actually hardcoded into the game! If pipe and not 1-1, then piranha plant.

There's so much to learn in #NESdev.

Turns out that just reading the ROM file looking for tiles isn't so hard.

@revolverocelot ©2019, wow.

Someone's been having fun with our database snapshot names at work.

@efz1005 Why can't they be awful and terrible? :-(
