 # Pixi
 
-Gamecraft mod for converting images into coloured blocks.
+A mod for importing images and more into Gamecraft. 
-Think of it like automatic pixel art.
+
+Developed by NGnius.
 
 ## Installation
 
 Before installing Pixi, please patch Gamecraft with [GCIPA](https://git.exmods.org/modtainers/GCIPA/releases) and install the latest version of [GamecraftModdingAPI](https://git.exmods.org/modtainers/GamecraftModdingAPI/releases). 
 
-To install Pixi, copy `Pixi.dll` (from the latest release) into the `Plugins` folder in Gamecraft's main folder. 
+Once that's done, install Pixi by copying `Pixi.dll` (from the latest release) into the `Plugins` folder in Gamecraft's main folder. 
 Alternately, follow the install guide: https://www.exmods.org/guides/install.html (ignore the part about a zip file -- move Pixi.dll into the Plugins folder instead). 
 
 ## Usage

-For the preceeding commands, do not forget the `@"` before and `"` after the command argument, otherwise the command won't work. 
-If your image is not stored in the same folder as Gamecraft, you should specify the full filepath (eg `C:\path\to\image.png`) to the image. 
-This works best with `.PNG` images, but `.JPG` also works -- you just won't be able to use transparency-based features. 
-Optionally, if you know your command argument won't have a backslash `\` in it, you can omit the `@` symbol.

-`PixiThicc [depth]` sets the block thickness for `Pixi2D` image conversion. 
-The depth should be a positive whole number, like 3 or 42, and not 3.14 or -42. 
 The default thickness is 1. 
 
+Some commands also have hidden features, like image rotation. 
+Talk to NGnius on the Exmods Discord server or read the Pixi's source code to figure that out.

 ### Behaviour
 
 PixiText and PixiConsole share the same image conversion system. 
 The conversion system converts every pixel to a [color tag](http://digitalnativestudios.com/textmeshpro/docs/rich-text/#color) followed by a square text character. 
-Thanks to TextMeshPro's support for the full colour spectrum, colour accuracy for these commands is very good. 
 For PixiText, the resulting character string is set to the text field of the text block that the command places. 
 For PixiConsole, the character string is automatically set to a console block in the form `ChangeTextBlockCommand [text block id] [character string]`. 
+Due to limitations in Gamecraft, larger images will crash your game. 
 
 Pixi2D takes an image file and converts every pixel to a coloured block. 
-Unfortunately, an image file supports over 6 million colours and Gamecraft only has 100 paint colours (and only 90 are used by Pixi2D). 
 Pixi2D uses an algorithm to convert each pixel in an image into the closest paint colour, but colour accuracy will never be as good as a regular image. 
 
 Pixi2D's colour-conversion algorithm also uses pixel transparency so you can cut out shapes. 
 A pixel which has opacity of less than 50% will be ignored. 
 A pixel which has an opacity between 75% and 50% will be converted into a glass cube. 
-A pixel which has an opacity greater than 75% will be converted into an aluminium cube. 
+A pixel which has an opacity greater than 75% will be converted into the block you're holding (or aluminium if you've got your hand selected). 
-This only works with `.PNG` image files since the `.JPG` format doesn't store transparency.

+Pixi2D also optimises block placement, since images have a lot of pixels. 
-After the colour-conversion algorithm, Pixi groups blocks in the same column with the same paint colour together. 
+The blocks grouping ratio is displayed in the command line output once image importing is completed. 
-The grouping algorithm reduces the block count by over 75% in ideal cases, and it can reduce the block count by 50% in most cases. 
-Imagine a standard 1080p screen (1920x1080 pixels), which has more than 2 million pixels. 
-Pixi2D could import that image with less than 500K blocks, which will still hurt Gamecraft's performance even on good PCs but it won't make it completely unusable like 2M blocks will.
