 +===== PREPARING IMAGES =====
 +
 +{{ ::img2tile-gimp.jpg?nolink&600 |}}
 +
 +Images can be prepared with any photo editing program, such as [[https://www.gimp.org/|GIMP]]. The images must be the size of a tile (8x8 pixels) or a multiple of a single tile (i.e. 32x24 pixel, 64x64 pixel, and so on). Although the program can read many graphic formats, the most accurate results are obtained by using two highly contrasted colors (black / white) and saving using the PNG format at RGB (24 bit)

 +===== A SIMPLE PROGRAM =====
 +
 +This simple program loads all tiles prepared with the last ''img2tile'' command, and it draws a yellow bomb at the center of the default screen:
 +
 +   #include "midres.h"
 +   #include "header_tiles.h"
 +   
 +   mr_tileset_load("tiles.bin", MR_TILESET_0, TILE_START, TILE_COUNT);
 +   mr_tileset_visible(MR_TILESET_0);
 +   mr_puttile(MR_SCREEN_DEFAULT, MR_SCREEN_WIDTH >> 1, MR_SCREEN_HEIGHT >> 1, TILE_BOMB, MR_COLOR_YELLOW);
