# This is a decompressor for data in the Sim City (Japan) ROM for Super Famicom
#
# This extracts the complete character set from the game, used for the popup dialogs,
# and also all of the text used in these dialogs.
# The five SNES versions in various languages can also be dumped by this script, see below.
#
# The decompressor is for a Nintendo compression format that was apparently used in several games,
# and has been known by some as LC_LZ5. It might be useful for other games besides SimCity.

# Problem:
#   Making an NES game, want smooth motion but don't want to store sub-pixel precision.
# Solution:
#   Approximate smooth motion in discrete steps.
#
#   Investigate a few methods, and compare them by smoothness.
#   Use standard deviation as a measure of smoothness.
#   (Lower deviation total is better.)
#
# Result:

# This scrips attempts to find suitable subtitles in video collections,
# and will copy the best candidate into the same folder as the video,
# with the same filename as the video with the subtitle's extension.
#
# If a video already has a subtitle file in this place, it will not overwrite it.
#
# I can also delete directories and files as automatic cleanup.
