Credits

• Much of the basis of this project could not be done without Jeff Bostoen's detailed specification of the ZT1 graphics format here: https://github.com/jbostoen/ZTStudio/wiki/ZT1-Graphics-Explained
• A lot of of structure names are inspired by Mad Scientist's original Zoot documentation on the file format which was also used as reference.
• Big thanks to Jay for answering my questions about the ZT1 format! Helped me solve a lot of headaches with frame alignments.
