Quote: Very interesting reading, that CPC forum thread. Everyone there seems to suffer from some kind of inferiority complex regarding the C64, feeling the need to constantly bash it and its users as they do. I mean, what does it fucking matter which 30+ year old platform you prefer to use? Just use the one you like best and be happy about it.

If you haven't check out the Amstrad CPC demo : Batman Forever by Batman Group where they go on and on about the c64.

Of course I've seen that, and yes, I reacted to it then as well. It's not as if C64 demos are chock full of rants about how much Amstrad or Spectrum sucks. I mean, who would you be trying to convince?

Started yesterday on a new tool to make a list of charblocks that need to have a certain color. For things like lights I want to have the colors that change as screencolors, and not as $d800 colors. Reason : it makes codes simpler, since you can write the new color to a fixed memory address, no matter how you scrolled.

I used to have a tool on the c64 for this, but that was horrible work to do :-)

So now I'll have a simple GUI editor in which I can say what for what charblocks I need certain colors to be the screencolors and output a list. A commandline tool (that i can add in my build) updates the bitmaps according to the list.

nice.

Now send me the code and let me setup a proper git so that we can collaborate!
