TUTORIALS

Creating stuff in Horse Race Test Maker should be straightforward but if you're having trouble refer to these guides

HOW TO MAKE MAPS:

0) Maps are a .png file so you will need to make them in an image editing program, any will work, even microsoft paint should work.

1) Create an image that has a width of 640 pixels and height of 480 pixels

2) Start drawing your map, it initially needs to be just black and white, with black being walls and white being empty space

3) Place a SINGLE red pixel somewhere, this will indicate where one horse will spawn. Note that that the pixel needs to be completely red (HEX #FF0000)

4) Place a SINGLE green pixel somewhere, this will indicate where the gate will be. Note that the pixel needs to be completely green (HEX #00FF00)

5) Place a SINGLE blue pixel somewhere, this will indicate where the carrot will be. Note that the pixel needs to be completely blue (HEX #0000FF)

6) Save the image somewhere as a PNG file.

6) Now you should be done with your map! Open the game and click on the big plus icon to import the map.

7) Once inside the game you can customize its colors and import a cosmetic image overlay that will go on top of the map.

8) If you are having trouble refer to the example maps located in the maps folder where you put the game.

HOW TO MAKE HORSES:

0) You will need to draw the horse in an image editing program, any will work, even microsoft paint should work.

1) Inside the game Import a map so that you can see horses on the right side of the screen.

2) Click one of the horses you want to edit.

3) Click the red "Reset Horse" button at the bottom.

4) Give the horse a name.

5) Click on the button with googly eyes pointing to the right and import your sprite. Note that the horse has a width of 32 pixels and height of 32 pixels other wise its going to be stretched.

6) Import the rest of the looking direction, if you only have one horse sprite just fill out the rest of the squares with the same sprite.

7) Click the "Save horse to file" button at the top and save the horse inside the horses folder that comes alongside your game.

8) Now you are done! Your new horse will be automatically loaded from the horses folder every time you import a new map.
