ac-designs

This package makes it easy to generate and parse QR codes for Animal Crossing designs.

Many thanks to ACNLPatternTool, which served as inspiration and reference for much of the design processing and data formatting code in this library.

This isn't quite ready for use yet, so check back soon!

Roadmap

• [X] QRData Class

  • [X] Generate QR code images
  • [X] Switch image generation to node-canvas

• [X] Design Class

  • [X] Read QR properties from byte data
  • [X] Write QR properties to byte data
  • [X] Read design data from one or more QRData instances
  • [X] Write new design data back out to QRData instances
  • [ ] Convert normal images to AC designs, scaling and converting colors where necessary

• [X] ColorPalette/Color Classes

  • [X] Convert between AC colors and standard RGB colors

• [X] IndexedImage Classes

  • [X] Store the design's image data in a separate class
  • [X] Get/set the color index for individual pixels
  • [X] Get/set all color index values for each segment
  • [X] Enable compositing multiple image data segments together in an arbitrary layout
  • [ ] Enable modifying individual pixel bytes from the colorIndexes array on derived segments (via proxies)
  • [ ] Provide individual clothing segments (e.g. front/back/sleeves) based on the usage type

• [X] Image Class

  • [X] Convert AC design format to normal images
  • [X] Output PNG files/data URLs
  • [X] Output to canvas elements
  • [X] Use xBRZ to smooth upscaled images
  • [X] Switch to node-canvas

• [ ] Cleanup

  • [X] Improve naming consistency between to* and get* methods
  • [X] Improve consistency between QR image and rendered design image output methods
  • [X] Update Color to make it more clear that color values are ACNH byte codes
  • [X] Tests: Import classes from '../src/index'
  • [X] Improve error messages (e.g., show the expected/actual byte counts)
  • [ ] Rename fields called colorPalette to palette
  • [X] Include the transparent color in ColorPalette
  • [X] Change colorData/"color data" to image data

• [ ] Documentation/examples

  • [ ] Write documentation
  • [ ] Add node example
  • [X] Add Vue examples
    • [X] Image previews
    • [X] QR images
    • [ ] Individual segment previews (front/back/sleeves/etc)
    • [X] Interactive canvas for drawing designs
