How do I layout sprites and fonts in order for them to look right in VERGE?

In order for sprites to be interpreted properly by VERGE, make sure you have a one pixel padding between all your frames, that your transparency color is death magenta and that all frames in your sprites are the same.

In order to layout fonts the right way is a little trickier. There are 20 font characters per row, and 5 rows. The fifth row of the font only has 16 characters. Use existing font images to get the exact order of characters. Here is a somewhat valid way to lay it out:

  ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / 0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ? @ A B C D E F G
H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [
\\ ] ^   ' a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o
p q r s t u v w x y { | } ~ !!

It's a lot prettier this go around because of Jon Wofford.
