As a test for creating a sprite/to see if I could still do it, I created a custom focus screen based upon the original VB logo (using on boxes of FlashBoy Plus and on the front page of Nintendo’s development manual). I MUCH prefer it to the final logo we got.
As I seem to have a different coding style than some of the board members here, I’ll prefix my contribution with the following: I am a fan of “multiple translation units divided by purpose, link them together”, whereas the board seems to in general use “include all source files in one master source file, link a single object.” My files follow the former approach, and also do not use libgccvb types (they use short, which is what Nintendo’s CGX2C.EXE used).
That being said, it’s not difficult to convert it to the “master include file” form :P.

Note: The C files were generated by using HorvatM’s vbimgc tool, and modified by me after the fact. This is my own work otherwise.

Alright, my Python tool for converting BMPs to C is working (not as user-friendly as HorvatM’s but it does the job for automating asset conversion). First thing I did was take the focus screen, split it into two, and add parallax. This was the result: http://imgur.com/VBeYXxE
I have attached the BMPs and generated C files (same conventions as list time). I feel this focus screen’s much better! Thanks for the suggestions. 🙂
