## Installation

To install the Pixi mod, copy `Pixi.dll` (from the latest release) into the `Plugins` folder in Gamecraft's main folder.
You'll also need [GamecraftModdingAPI](https://git.exmods.org/modtainers/GamecraftModdingAPI) installed and Gamecraft patched with [GCIPA](https://git.exmods.org/modtainers/GCIPA/releases).

## Usage

Pixi adds new commands to Gamecraft's command line to import images into a game.
Since Pixi places vanilla Gamecraft blocks, imported images should be visible without Pixi installed.
Since Pixi places vanilla Gamecraft blocks, imported images should be visible without Pixi installed.

### Commands

`PixiScale [width] [height]` sets the block canvas size (usually you'll want this to be the same size as your image).
When conversion using `Pixi2D` is done, if the canvas is larger than your image the image will be repeated.
If the canvas is smaller than your image, the image will be cropped.
`PixiText @"[image]"` converts an image to text and places a text block with that text beside you.

`Pixi2D "[image]"` converts an image to blocks and places it beside where you're standing (along the xy-plane).
`PixiConsole @"[image]" "[text block id]"` converts an image to text and places a console block beside you which changes the specified text block.

`Pixi2D @"[image]"` converts an image to blocks and places it beside you (along the xy-plane).

Anything between `[` and `]` characters is a command argument you must provide by replacing everything inside and including the square brackets.
An argument like `[dog name]` is an argument named "dog name" and could be a value like `Clifford` or `doggo`,
and `@"[dog name]"` could be a value like `@"Clifford"` or `@"doggo"`.

For example, if you want to add an image called `pixel_art.png`, stored in Gamecraft's installation directory,
execute the command `Pixi2D @"pixel_art.png"` to load the image as blocks.
It's important to include the file extension, since Pixi isn't psychic (yet).

**EXPERIMENTAL**

`PixiBot @"[bot]"` downloads a bot from Robocraft's community Factory and places it beside you.

`PixiBotFile @"[bot]"` converts a `.bot` file from [rcbup](https://github.com/NGnius/rcbup) to blocks and places it beside you.

**NOTE**

Do not forget the `@"` before and `"` after the command argument, otherwise the command won't work.
If your image is not stored in the same folder as Gamecraft, you should specify the full filepath (eg `C:\path\to\image.png`) to the image.
This works best with `.PNG` images, but `.JPG` also works -- you just won't be able to use transparency-based features.
Optionally, if you know your command argument won't have a backslash `\` in it, you can omit the `@` symbol.

For example, if you want to add an image called `pixel_art.png`,
with a resolution of 1920x1080, stored in Gamecraft's installation directory,
execute the command `PixiScale 1920 1080` to set the size and then `Pixi2D "pixel_art.png"` to load the image.
`PixiThicc [depth]` sets the block thickness for `Pixi2D` image conversion.
The depth should be a positive whole number, like 3 or 42, and not 3.14 or -42.
The default thickness is 1.

### Behaviour

Pixi takes an image file and converts every pixel to a coloured block.
Unfortunately, an image file supports over 6 million colours and Gamecraft only has 100 paint colours (and only 90 are used by Pixi).
Pixi uses an algorithm to convert each pixel an image into the closest paint colour, but colour accuracy will never be as good as a regular image.

Pixi's colour-conversion algorithm also uses pixel transparency to you can cut out shapes.
A pixel which has opacity of less than 75% will be not be converted into a solid block.
