What this is

It's an interactive cheat sheet for Nova Drift.

Initial setup for build

haxelib install csv

Building

Copy localization.csv from Nova Drift directory to bin/

Do

haxe -lib csv -cp src -neko bin/gen.n -main Main
cd bin
neko gen.n

which generates index.html.

And

haxe -cp src -js bin/script.js -main WebMain

which generates script.js

[Re-]building textures

1. Extract game sprites using YYTextureView (open data.win, Show Sprites, Save Images).

2. Copy all textures starting with sHex to base-full/.

3. Run preproc.bat to remove extra textures.

4. Generate lower-resolution textures using ImageMagick:

for %v in (base-full\*.png) do @magick %v -resize 64x64^ base-mini\%~nxv

5. Generate texture atlas and texture CSS using free web variant of TexturePacker (set "Data format" to "CSS", set "Sprite prefix" to "hex").

6. Find-replace with regex in generated CSS file:

-sHex(\w+?)(?:_0)?\b

to

.$1

7. Replace url(spritesheet.png) with url(hex.jpg) in generated CSS file.

8. Convert the PNG spritesheet to JPEG. Background color doesn't matter since we're using clipping anyway.
