1st Febuary of 2024: Added the option to display verticallly/horizontally.

Previously know as paint-to-bin-MSX, the repository is upgraded into a both-way convertor. Now, you need two files (Palette and Sprite Sheet) for paint-to-hex script. Turning a Bin data into Image is an ambitious idea. I am glad to turn this dream come true. For someone visual, Sprite Editing become easier (and better than YY-CHR).
