Here we documenting hex addresses and guides of Kid Chameleon. For advanced Kid Edit user this information is useful to make additional changes to their project.
Hex Editing: For hex editing you need to have an hex editing program. We recommend XVI32 [1], which is an free program.
ROM Address: A ROM address can easily be found by the short key (CTRL-G), in most common hex editing programs.
Assigns maps to each level number. You can change the starting level at address 04033B, don't get confused with maps which are in this table, for their level numbers see List of levels#Hex reference table.
Converting color is easier as you may think. The most common color code is Hex which is indicated by the hastag (#) followed with a six digit number which may also contain the letters A,B,C,D,E,F.
Now to start off take a color which you want to use, you can take any program or online colorpicker [2] as long it give's you you're hex number. In this example I use #17C320 Now to make it fit in the ROM we need to remove three digits. let's add some space so we get an better overview #17 C3 20 now you need to remove the last digit of each pair. Which gives us #1 C 2 now read the backwards as you insert them to the ROM and add a 0 in front of it, so your will be inserting #02C1.
If you want to know or have questions, ask them on the forum.

Enemies[]
Pointers: If you take one of these addresses and search for that particular value (CTRL-F) you will see a pointer table, the first pointers are for color palette's. The pointers behind it until the next enemy points to each sprite sheet which makes up the animations for the enemy. They are stored in the following order: top-left to bottom-right
The color palette for the animation is as followed one, two, three, two and repeat. If you look at sprite-sheet image you'll see there are three different frames, each frame is animated with two different colors before switching to second frame.
The black color is used for the background behind the block, these blocks also have its own green color palette located at the end. Also there is a duplicated with these same colors they are located after the score screen at ROM address 0D02A Don't know where they are used for?

Juggernaut[]
An early version of Juggernaut with hands? At ROM address 0A1E6E and 0A1E6F which is black on default.
These are the graphics in the ROM data that have been reassembled into actual images by Tyadran using Tile Layer Pro. Note that, when jumping to these using Tile Layer Pro, you must place another 0 at the end for it to work. Also note that these may not be the precise start of the graphics for each transformation - there are a number of 8-pixel wide pieces of animation that are sliced up and difficult to reassemble, and thus have not been included (excluding Red Stealth's). Feel free to add to this list with any graphics you feel are relavent. Please direct any questions to Tyadran's talk page.
