Various graphics for my projects

An odd effect of procrastination on programming seems to be that I make more fonts and spritesheets...and compression methods. Here are some of them.

On this (augmented) 7-segment-display version, the U and V (and u and v) are bugging me as to which is which, but I'm not sure how to fix them in a way that still adheres rigidly to the restricted pixel options. Suggestions would be welcome. The colors are to indicate where the pixel segments break; the decompressed versions are intended to be as the black on white (or similarly monochrome. Possibly with a dropshadow, that's easy enough to add on decoding.) I never thought I'd find octal useful.
Interestingly, reducing the pixel-segments to single pixels makes for a decent font on its own with very few alterations. (They're the usual troublemakers N,M, and W.)

The other is simply a pattern for filling a CHR page (Don't do this by hand, please) to simply displays which value the tile is, along with which palette is selected- the pixels underneath the number will show in binary which palette is selected, if you set up the palettes correctly. I suspect some alteration to the finished product is in order so as better to delineate tile boundaries. Feel free to use this one, even without credit; it is too simple a thing.

Last for now, musical staff tiles, which you may also feel free to use, preferably with a credit. It's a work-in-progress. The eight-sprite limit will mean trouble if used horizontally. Interestingly, it would work fine going vertically- you have four channels, if each uses a dot and stem sprite, then you still only have eight sprites in your line even when all channels have a note. Several of the tiles (the repeat signs in particular) are redundant from a system on which you can mirror BG tiles. As it may not be perfectly obvious how to assemble the staff and ledger lines from how I crammed it in there, I have made an example, coloring repeat tiles blue. (Unfortunately, this put me over the three-attachment limit, therefore the double-post. Apologies.)

You might find these wikipedia articles useful: Seven-segment display - Fourteen segment display - Sixteen segment display - Nine-segment display - Seven-segment display character representations.

I've also seen various other eight-, nine-, ten-, eleven-, and thirteen- segment displays:

Hmm...thanks for the articles; I'd looked at the 7sd and character-representations-in-7sd but not 9, 14, or 16. Do these U and V (top) look like U and V respectively? I suspect the V is going to remain slightly confusing even with the corner.

Diagonal segments force the edges to be narrow, which takes it a bit away from the segment-display aesthetic...and general aesthetic. But perhaps it's a mug's game to be trying to get it down to 8x8. At 16x16 one can just give all the segments tapers. Or even 12x16. But one doesn't have much room on the NES screen.

Which is why I was amused to see that most of the data for the way I implemented the segment font make for a pretty good 3x5. Not perfect, so it was tweaked, and I figured if one is already having to compose characters, one might as well go for full variable-width, so alternates were composed.

I'd also created a number of numeral types, for a game I haven't gotten around to implementing. However, as I am unfamiliar with most of their source languages, I'm not entirely sure I preserved the right distinguishing features.Why do attachments add in reverse order?

I used these 7-segment tiles for the scoreboard in ZapPing.

There's a "place inline" button if you want to place them more precisely into your post.

Golfing a decoder for 15sd since it was nagging me. A few bytes and the entire charset+codec would be under a page. (Why no account for null terminator of char codes? Because $00 can start either decoder table.)

What's 15sd? Google turns up irrelevant results.

Maybe it's like a 14 segment display but with a decimal point?

15-segment display. See attachment of first post. Technically it'd be 9 segments, 6 dots, I suppose. And the squished-mode just doesn't line up at all, just aesthetically-following…
