(piman) Quick, someone give me a name for my manga viewer. (arashi) Superchick.
Superchick is a program to view manga, that is, Japanese comics. It can also be easily used to view American comics, or any other collection of images. However the feature set is slanted towards viewing images that should be displayed in alphabetical order, 1-2 per screen, and in right to left order.
- Installing
- Superchick requires Python 2.3 and Pygame 1.5 or higher. If SDL is not compiled with support for PNG and JPEG images (it probably is), you will not be able to load most image files.
As root, run
# make install
Alternately, you can just run Superchick out of the directory where you unpacked it.
Basic Usage:
$ superchick.py ~/manga/YKK/Volume1.zip
$ superchick.py ~/manga/Yakitate_Japan/Volume1/
$ superchick.py [directory or archive file full of images]
- Commands
- Left: Go one page to the left.
Right: Go one page to the right.
Space: Turn over the next page (possibly going 2 pages ahead).
R: Switch between right to left (default) and left to right
display modes. This changes whether left and right take you
forwards or backwards in the book, and how the pages are
laid out on the screen.
Home: Go to the first page.
End: Go to the last page.
L: Load a new file.
Page Down:
Go forward 15 pages. Page Up:
Go back 15 pages. 1-9: Go to a bookmarked image. Shift + 1-9 (!-( on QWERTY):
Set a bookmark (! = 1, @ = 2, and so on) at the current image. Esc: Quit.
(arashi) Please choose a different name. (piman) Too late.
