Roadmap - Nanook/NKit GitHub Wiki

NKit's aim is to encompass many of the features of useful tools used to process and manipulate game images. Tools that convert, scan, extract, fix, edit etc.

Many of these tools:

  • Are out of development
  • Are not available on all platforms
  • Don't work in later versions of operating systems
  • Are not open source
  • Do not support batch operations
  • Fail on some images

NKit aims to implement useful processing features and bring them up to date in one library for anyone to use. All requests and suggestions are welcomed.
