[Famicom Party] NES Lightbox: cross-platform NES graphics editing
Hello again!
After completing Chapter 13, I was a little sad that NESTool didn't offer the ability to easily find a tile's position within an attribute table byte. There were also a few annoying (and occasionally catastrophic) bugs. I tried to make some edits to the project myself, but I couldn't get things to work right. So, I decided to write my own version of NES Screen Tool instead. It's written in JavaScript / Electron, it's open-source, and it's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Please let me know if you find any bugs or if there are missing features you'd like to see.

Now that version 1.0.0 is out, I'm going to re-work some of the earlier chapters to use it (shouldn't be too much work, hopefully) before continuing on with more content. I'll be in touch again when the next chapter is ready.
Until then...
