Release id #17531 : Project One

This is a tool with a lot of potential, and it's great to see Oswald actively developing it at the moment :)

Obviously it's in the early stages right now so this is a good time for everyone to make suggestions about what they'd like to see it become.

I'm not much of a graphician myself, but I think the built in conversion handy. For me, as more of a coder, I'd like it to have more tools for conversion and such built in. For instance an option to convert koala -> charset/screen. Maybe even options to save in other formats.

Of course, it's primarily a tool for drawing koala pics on c64, so here's the point of this thread.

What kind of tools would you like built in to this program, extra drawing functions, options that you like in your favourite c64 painting tools?

Add any bug reports here as well, there could be a few in this early release ;)

Just kicking off the discussion ;)

Cheers,

Damian

@Oswald: before I forget, and since you started with the work on P1 again.

An adjustable brush size (or a predefined brush mask) of the freehand tool would be highly appreciated! I know there is a brush tool but it's really annoying that the color and the size can't be changed on-the-fly, the same way as for the freehand tool. The current brush tool is not really handy.

JB, ok so how about keeping the brush tool, but boosting up 'handyness' ? all we need is color selection for the brush done the same way as for freehand, and some sliders/listboxes always on screen for size / dither. Right?:) Peeking at
Timanthes I think a recolor brush would be also handy, and an extra 17. color for transparency, or simply when plotting with the background color handling it like transparent.

Will the global editor functionality for the brush tool remain the same as for the freehand tool? I mainly mean CTRL/SHIFT/ALT + mouse click here, which I'm really used to.
Frankly, never really understood why is the brush separated from the freehand tool at all. A more logical approach would be just adjusting the size of the freehand tool and both the dithering- and color-setting for the brush would lose their meaning since we have the dithering in function by pressing ALT, and the palette is there as well. Nevertheless, I don't think that too many people use other dithering set-ups than the basic chessboard-dithering. P1 is mainly oriented towards pixel-graphicians, remember? :)
