Requirements
To use flyingsnake, you need Python 3.7 or higher installed on your machine and inside your PATH.

Usage
To create a world map image named Output.png from the Small_Example.wld file present in your current working directory, run in your terminal:

Layers
The world map is generated by merging together multiple layers that can be enabled/disabled through flags.
In order, those are:
- Background
- Walls
- Liquids
- Blocks
- Wires
Background
The background layer is made by coloring the Overworld, the Underground and the Caverns their respective background color.
It can be selected exclusively with the --background flag, or turned off with the --no-background flag.
Walls
The walls layer contains the colors of the walls present in the world.
It can be selected exclusively with the --walls flag, or turned off with the --no-walls flag.
If the walls are painted, they will be colored with the paint color.
You can turn off paint colors with the --no-paints option.
Liquids
The liquids layer contains the colors of the liquids present in the world (water, lava, honey...)
It can be selected exclusively with the --liquids flag, or turned off with the --no-liquids flag.
Blocks
The blocks layer contains the colors of the blocks present in the world.
It can be selected exclusively with the --blocks flag, or turned off with the --no-blocks flag.
If the blocks are painted, they will be colored with the paint color.
You can turn off paint colors with the --no-paints option.
Wires
The wires layer is a semi-transparent overlay of the wires present in the world.
It can be selected exclusively with the --wires flag, or turned off with the --no-wires flag.
Custom colors
By default, flyingsnake uses the colors defined in the TEdit settings file.
However, you can use different colors by passing the --colors colors.json option to the command.
You can see an example colors file here; the colors are in RGBA format, and go from 0 to 255.
