Thanks for thinking about contributing to MakeItPixel! Here are the steps to do it.
- Read this document (you are on the right path in this moment).
- Check if there's any open issue with your idea, and whether it is already assigned to someone or not.
- If it is not, then you can open a new issue or comment in the existent one and I will assign it to you.
- Fork the repo and make your changes in the dev branch.
- Make a pull request.
This is a list of topics that could make it to a future version of MakeItPixel.
- Palette extraction. Adding options for palette extraction given an image is something I want to add in a future, so anything you can contribute in this line would be great.
- Bluring parameters. Enable parameters to blur the image before the re-scaling, similar to how normalization works.
- Border detection. Enable parameters for border detection, so the resulting image has the characteristic pixel art outlines.
- Build system. Add an easy way to install the dependencies and build the program.
- Porting. Include in the latest release a version of MakeItPixel for Windows.
- Code cleanup. Clean up and modularize some functions in
src/main.cpp.
And of course any other feature, documentation, or improvement you can think of!
I hope you find MakeItPixel interesting and useful.
