...and another sample with more bells and whistles: a simple Amiga IFF ILBM viewer, renders into a Mode-13h-style framebuffer (1 byte per pixel plus color palette), also supports color cycling effects via the IFF CRNG chunk :)

A long time ago (11 years ago), I wrote an JavaScript library to display IFF/ILBM files in a browser, surprisingly, it still works…#amiga #iff #ilbm #retrocomputing #imageprocessing #holdandmodify

If anyone needs a #CommodoreAmiga IFF ILBM image viewer for their #Wayland desktop (I use #Hyprland), I put one together as a nice self-contained #C application. It also has #nautilus and #XDG integration.

GIMP supports IFF / ILBM but weirdly not by default, you need a plugin. Conversely, Linux can natively mount, read and write Amiga file systems.

it turns an ILBM out of Deluxe Paint or whatever into a grid of 8x8 tiles, removes the duplicate tiles and remaps them in the grid, and produces a set of bitplane data files for the graphics bank builder and a C header with the tilemap for memcpy()ing into Playfield RAM

Might be. It doesn't ring a bell but neither does the other contender (ILBM/IFF, ty Abigail) so I guess that info is gone from my brain forever, driven out by later memories of battles over whether GIF or JPG was better. (I do not remember what side I was on. Possibly Team TIFF out of contrariness.)
The amiga scene used this a lot from what I recall en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILBM (also called just IFF)

PS: the 'fullscreen triangle' actually also works if the target doesn't cover the entire window client rectangle, you can just clip via the viewport rectangle. I do this for instance here in the sokol framebuffer sample: floooh.github.io/sokol-html5/...

#PyDPainter, a modern Python remake of #DeluxePaint III from the #Amiga has a new #MacOS Beta app. Download and test it :
pydpainter.org/download.php
It can load, edit and save most of your vintage Amiga files (Anim5, iff ilbm, brush and animbrushs) and modern GIF/PNG.

Nice samples page structure and design, I should probably update mine at some point too :)

A handlful random samples seem to be missing the WebGPU version (e.g. framebuffer and ilbm), is that on purpose?

Mostly done for Stoo Cambridge of Sensible Software fame, but may be useful for others. Plugins for getting #Amiga images to produce thumbnails in Linux file managers.

There's

But it's all IFF ILBM files ;)
