Converting GFX question
Asking for friend. Quote follows:
---
Morning! Does anyone of you please know a Window C64 converter that would not do any processing and just save data in C64 format?
What's my problem: I prepared a 4-color (so that I can convert to multicolor sprites) picture in Gimp and then ran it through a converter, which decided to just add a 5th color. 🤦♂️
---
Thank you for quick help everybody. |

Quoting CreaMDimagine, that there might be self-taught c64 coders that never actually were programmers for living and commandline is a "distant" concept to them. I thought the usual process was to be a self-taught C-64 coder first (in teenage years) to eventually become a professional programmer later, building on that C-64 knowledge. Not the other way around. =) |

Still so, you were not a programmer before you became a self-taught c64 coder in your teenage years, I suppose. Unless your mom gave birth to a professional programmer, of course.
But may I suggest Spritepad for this thread? |

Heh, imo it was 'were'. Which shows the difference in interpretation of words and sentences, leading to derailed forum threads. |

I'm glad Wotnau doesn't waste his life here and does something creative on C64 instead.
Time to close.
Nobody should waste his life by telling people what they should do and what not. We shouldnt have fun here indeed, this is serious website, users should be banned from chit chatting, so moderators can idle in peace. |

"empathic enough to imagine, that there might be self-taught c64 coders that never actually were programmers for living and commandline is a "distant" concept to them"
You literally not be a self taught c64 coder, without starting on the command line. And i am pretty sure every c64 programmier has used it. Which makes fear of command line kind of funny indeed. |

Wow this spiralled out of control fast :) For what it's worth, I kind of regret making a GUI version of retropixels. It was a kind of proof-of-concept, but I broke my own rule of never giving a tool away without being prepared to maintain it. As a coder I want command line tools that I can automate and integrate into my development process, and now I am having to dodge questions about feature requests and bugs. Boohoo! It will probably go away some day because of lack of priority and then there's only command line left...

Imagine someone choose different career path. And he is good at it. C64 is his exit to the world of childhood/younghood dreams.

If it helped him to achieve his goal, then it was worth it I think. Thanks. |

Never worked as a programmer, but strangely enough it has been very usefull to know a little about bits and bytes in every situation i have been in professionaly (which has ranged from high tech space/subsea exploration to technical ship management and a lot of other weird stuff). It goes with the story though that most of those I considered "coders" in my home area back in the day (~10 people) have gone into programming and IT. Some have climbed the corporate ladders and don't program anymore but some still are.
It's a good hobby, but the motivation to "produce" anything is long gone as there can be no 'reward' like it was when you were 12 and managed to put something in the sideborder to all your little nerd-buddies awe. What's most rewarding to me these days is to take ancient ineficcient code and optimize it :) |
