IM BACK WITH MY NEXT WiErd AND USELESS EXTENSION!

its called string-images!
it makes images out of binary strings! (1-bit style)
you can import it by pasting https://github.com/ShrimpCatDev/string-images into the extension search bar.

USAGE:

X and Y, the images position relative to the output image
width and height: the width and height of the image
color 0 and 1: the 2 colors of the image
output: the output image (such as a sprite image or background image)
string: the image string! (typically 64 chars long for an 8x8 image)

im not sure how you could actually use this, but its fun to play around with!

but i bet your wondering how you can make image strings, you have 2 options
1: write one by hand (actually not too hard)
2: use my tool

Microsoft MakeCode

String image painter

Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.

its pretty easy to use and its similar to my joy of pixels game, just draw on the 8x8 canvas, the top left icons can be pressed for saving/loading (saving can also be done by pressing the menu), the top-right clear the screen, the text at the bottom left is for your randomly generated save code (only for the image editor), and the bottom right icons can be pressed to change the colors of the canvas.
to get the saved binary atring you will need to go into the editor then go into the console, where you can copy it.

i hope y’all enjoy!
