Progress:

• Palettes loading for UFO
• TFTD palettes loading except for tactical, which appear scrambled
• PCK loader appears to successfully unpack sprite data
• TAB files may be correct? Still unclear what exactly they do.
• Export unit to sprite sheet works
• Export terrain to sprite sheet appears to be incomplete data?

Usage

• npm install
• npm run test:palettes Export palettes to PNG files
• npm run export:ufo Export PCK files to PNG sprite sheets
