Crash Bandicoot! For your macOS desktop!!

Download it here!

Inspired by this tweet, including the entirely-not-mine-and-probably-still-copyrighted assets in this executable for Windows.

Requirements

• macOS 10.13

Contributing

Build, run, off you go. No package manager or anything.

Notes

If you want to extract the assets yourself, here's what it looked like for me.

Tools

The main one is icoutils, which gives us the wrestool command. I have Imagemagick and ffmpeg on hand for noodlin' around too.

brew install icoutils

Extract Assets

wrestool -x -o ./wres crash.exe         # extracts the BMPs, but doesn't know how to handle the WAVs
wrestool -x --raw -o ./wres crash.exe   # extracts the WAVs, but doesn't transform the BMPs

Generate Transparent .pngs

convert ./crash.exe_2_3000_2057.bmp ./crash.exe_2_3000_2057.png                                           # extract into PNG
convert ./crash.exe_2_3000_2057.png -colorspace sRGB -transparent 'srgb(252, 4, 252)' ./transparent.png   # convert background into transparency

mkdir tiles
magick ./transparent.png -crop 152x150 tiles/tile%04d.png                                                 # extract each frame into a tile

Bonus Fun: Create Movie

(note, this will bring the pink background back, because the video doesn't know how to transparency. Fool!)

ffmpeg -r 12 -f image2 -s 152x150 -i tiles/tile%04d.png -vcodec libx264 -crf 25  -pix_fmt yuv420p clip.mp4

Thanks
