MibiNESTools: Create CHR files and nametables easily.

[Mibi88]

On Linux, there are very few tools that allow for easy edition of nametables and CHR files. Tilemolester is very old, and Lightbox is very primitive.

That's why I started making a tool that is powerful, while also being stable and cross platform.

I will also add a level editor for my future game, but currently it does nothing: there is just a button on the level editor tab.

The CHR editor and the nametable editor are both fully functional, so I used them to make the title screen of my new game.

The source code of my tool is available on github: https://github.com/mibi88/MibiNESTools

I just released the first alpha version, but found some bugs right after it. I fixed them on the dev branch.

(I don't understand why but the screenshot I uploaded appeared as blank when I attach it to the post)

EDIT: I managed to add the screenshot as a gif

I made a lot of changes, I plan to release the v.1.0a2 soon.

I added support for plugins, added a code editor an now editors can be opened and closed.

v.1.0a2: Plugins and a code editor!

I just released the v.1.0a2, it features most importantly a new code editor, support for plugins, and gives you the possibility to edit multiple files at a time!

Changes:

• Bug fixes.

• Multiple files can now be edited at the same time.

• Added a simple code editor for 6502 assembly.

• Added support for plugins.

• The background color of nametables is now correct.

• Only the currently used CHR bank is displayed in the nametable editor.

• A line is drawn between two CHR banks.

A build is available on GitHub: https://github.com/mibi88/MibiNESTools/ ... ag/v.1.0a2
