CC DRAWER 2.0a: A pixel-art program which builds your pictures in minecraft
Today I am publishing the alpha version of my CC-Drawer program. This program is capable of building every picture with (currently) a maximum size of 250x250px. Sounds small. But it isn't. Features:
–Coming soon: Indepth explenation of the algorithms used | Tutorial how to use this –
DOWNLOAD: http://newcat.bplaced.net/CCDC.zip Note that this is still in an early version, so please post any bugs you find in this thread.

- Soon multiple turtles will be supported
- Fast convert times and pathfinding
- Multithreading support soon
Spoiler

You can get the computerID of the turtle by going into the lua console and then typing in "os.getComputerID()"
HOW TO USE THE PROGRAM:
Converting a picture:
- Open the program
- Load a picture by clicking the "Open Image" button (the maximum size of the picture is 250x250)
- If another window overlaps the converter window and the picture disappears then press the little "R" button
- Click the "Convert" button
- Select the alpha color
- If everything is fine then click the "Save CCD Image" button and save the image into the turtle folder where your CCD program is
- Move the turtle to one block above ground
- The starting point of the turtle will be the upper left corner of the picture facing up like this (T = turtle, P = Picture, | = where the turtle is facing)
T P P P P
P P P P P
P P P P P
- Place wool in the turtle's inventory like this:
- Run "ccdrawer"
- Type in the filename of your picture
- When the turtle stops moving and hasn't finished building yet then it is probably out of wool. Look at the console, it says which wool type it is missing
- Have fun! (most important ;)/>/> )
TODO:
- Add support for multiple turtles
- Remove the "Open CC Image" button since it just makes no sense
- Improve color recognition in the convert process

Hello everybody since I've programming with turtles, I had the wish to program a turtle to draw a picture in Minecraft (pixel-art). Now this came out: http://pastebin.com/4xSYK73B This is a program which is able to draw converted pictures in Minecraft (pixel-art). It is very easy to use and faster than doing it "with hand". Images (NOTE: These pictures aren't very good, i shot them in the beta-phase, better pictures will come soon!):Spoiler

Download the CC-Drawer Program: http://newcat.bplaced.net/CCD/drawer (maybe Right-Click -> Save target as…) Download the CC-Drawer Converter: http://newcat.bplace...CDConverter.zip Open the Minecraft-World (I recommend a superflat world) in which you want your picture to be builded (e. g. Pictureworld). Place a turtle, access it and type in "lua". Then type in "os.computerID()" and remember the number. Now open the .minecraft-Folder, go into the saves-Folder and then in the world with the turtle (in my case Pictureworld). Then go into the "computers"-Folder. There must be a folder with the number (ID) of the turtle. Open this folder and paste in the drawer-Program. Now you can extract the converter anywhere on your PC, for expample in your Pictures-Folder. IMPORTANT: Do NOT delete any of the files which come with the converter. When you do it anyway, the converter WILL NOT WORK!!!Spoiler
At first you need a bitmap with dimensions about 20x20 pixel (Note: 1px = 1 Block in Minecraft. 2s/block * 400 blocks = 800s /60 = ~13min | The picture can be bigger or smaller, but a 100x100 picture will take about 5 hours!) Run the ccdc.exe. Then click the Open Button, select the bitmap, click Convert, select a place and a name without an extension and wait until the conversion is completed. (Note: Maybe the program seems "freezed" while converting. Don't mind - you get a message when the conversion is finished.) Now copy the picture to your drawer program. Then open Minecraft, go into the world where the turtle with the drawerprogram is. Right-Click the turtle. Fill the slots of the turtle exactly like in this picture: Then type in "drawer" and then the name of the picture. That's all! Happy Drawing!Spoiler
V1.0: + Initial Release Todo: - Adding a brown color - Making a progress bar for converting - Optimize turtle program (for faster building)Edited on 07 September 2014 - 01:39 PM
