I made this because I didn't have an image editor of any sort on my machine and I just needed to make a few little pixel art things for a project I was working on. Instead of trying to find an image editor for MacOS that I liked, I just made this. It's small and cute and I like it and I hope you do, too.
tep lets you make little pixel art images in a file and then compile them to images. See:
w: #FFF
b: #000
w b w b w b
b w b w b w
w b w b w b
b w b w b w
w b w b w b
b w b w b w
The spaces are optional but let it stay at least a little more square than it could be in whatever font this is that I'm using.
Install it with
cargo install tepimg
or clone it down and
cargo install --path tep
tepimg tests/standard.tep tests/standard.png
Or, if you want to share a palette between images, you can pass it in separate. The palette provided with -p will be used instead of any palette in the image.
tepimg -p tests/standard_palette tests/standard.tep tests/standard.png
short gray: #1 becomes #111111
long gray: #12 becomes #121212
short rgb: #abc becomes #aabbcc
short rgba: #abcd becomes #aabbccdd
long rgb: #abcdef
long rgba: #abcdef12
rgb(...) and rgba(...) with bytes. So like, rgb(51,170,136)
