This project converts a video file (specifically "bad_apple.mp4") into a series of frames and generates a map file for Plazma Burst 2 (PB2) based on the pixel data from these frames. The project includes scripts for frame extraction, pixel categorization, and XML map generation.
Check out the YouTube video showcasing the "Bad Apple" animation in Plazma Burst 2 side by side with the original:
- Extract frames from a video at your desired FPS.
- Categorize pixels in each frame as either black or white.
- Generate a PB2-compatible map in XML format based on the pixel data.
- Customizable aspect ratio and frame rate for the frame extraction and mapping process.
create_frames.py: Script to extract frames from the video and categorize pixels.create_pb2_map.py: Script to generate the PB2 map from categorized pixel data.config.py: Configuration file to set the aspect ratio, pixel size, and frame rate.bad_apple.mp4: Input video file for frame extraction.

Clone this repository and navigate into the directory:
git clone https://github.com/BLAST3R-PB2/bad_apple.git cd bad_apple -
Ensure you have OpenCV installed. You can install it via pip:
pip install opencv-python
-
Extract frames from the video:
python create_frames.py
-
Generate the PB2 map:
python create_pb2_map.py
The extracted frames will be saved in the frames directory, and the categorized pixel frames will be in the pixel_categorized_frames directory. The final map will be saved as bad_apple_map.xml.
You can adjust the aspect ratio in the config.py file:
SCREEN_SIZE = 12
PIXEL_SIZE = 8
FRAME_RATE = 30 # frames per second
ASPECT_RATIO_WIDTH = 4 * SCREEN_SIZE
ASPECT_RATIO_HEIGHT = 3 * SCREEN_SIZEFrom my experience, due to PB2's limitations, it's only possible to load & play maps up to 25MB in size.
The map will fail to load and the game will throw an error if the bad_apple_map.xml file is too large.
