Just a simple demo with a one channel beeper tune (originally composed by Martin Galway for Microprose Soccer on the C64). Feel free to rip it to shreds.=-)

(Code/graphics/wiring/music driver by me, tone generation code by Zapac.)

Yup, i was using the image to test my BMP to Apple II converter a few months back. There has been a little manual tidying up to reduce artifacting on colour displays too. =-)

My converters tend to be foir taking a picture that's already been processed/ edited for their target machine and pushing it out as raw data for the assembler. The intented target was an Apple II with green screen, but i tried to keep the artifacting to a minimum on colour displays as well.

My tools don't usually escape! =-)

At the moment it's just a couple of routiines that yank in a BMP, mangle the pixels around and push out the result as raw, there's nothing "user friendly" right now and a few [ahem] quirks that need dealing with before i'd even consider inflicting it on other people.

i've noticed the lack of tools yeah, i think the only A2-specific tool i've used so far is CiderPress for building disk images and everything else is either multi-platform like ACME or something i've thrown together that is more user hostile than anything else. If i can find a way to make my converter a bit more intuitive it might escape, but i haven't looked at the code for several months so there's no guarantee i even remember how it works!

The lack of documentation (or more accurately, good documentation) doesn't help either...

Ooo-kay, so i was just expecting a sea of "sucks" for this release and instead we're talking about tools... is Pouet cheering up for Christmas or something? =-)
