aseprite to pico8/picotron exporter

This Aseprite extension lets you copy images/subimages from Aseprite to PICO-8 or Picotron.

how to use

  1. save this script to your aseprite scripts folder (File > Scripts > Open Scripts Folder) then reopen aseprite (or click "Rescan Scripts")
  2. load an image with the picotron palette (or pico-8 extended palette)
  3. (optional) change the image's color mode to "indexed" (Sprite > Color Mode > Indexed)
    • if you skip this step, picotron will find the "closest" color for each pixel when you import. (but, the "closest" algorithm isn't very smart)
    • be sure aseprite's palette is in the right order! you can load the palette (above) into aseprite and then press the "remap colors" button that pops up
  4. launch this script, press "Copy" to copy to clipboard. (alt-c should work too)
