new ifli editor
As the existing editors drive me nuts more and more (most of all Funpaint, due to corrupted files when packer is on, buggy color-clash handling, sucky load/save-routines, ...) i decided to do a new editor, lean but working.
yet implemented functions:
- working color-clash handling
- optimizing of block, if colors are wasted
- exchange color in blockline/block
- draw single color/pattern
- load/save (kernalroutines only, so that it will also work with all kind of fancy drive hardware)
- quick color selection by 0-f (col1) and shift+0-f (col2)
- copy/paste block
- blockwise movement by cursor, pixelwise movement by joystick
Is there anything else that would be reasonable to be implemented? Otherwise, i'd release that tool soon, including source.
Btw. a MCI-mode would be more or less easy to implement aswell. |

too bad, I know someone else is working on a native c64 ifli editor aswell (secretly) having almost the same feature list. You two should have joined forces. Thumbs up anyway, there's almost all a gfxer could wish for. |

Well, wasn't too much of work overall. The editor is ready for release, but might need a bit testing. I just wonder myself how i could stand the pain for so long and haven't done a new editor much earlier. In the end frustration was too much, so i started that editor spontaneously, as i do so often when i get fed up by sucky tools. So after i did my own a hires, afli, ascii and koala-editor fitting my needs, this was just consequent again.
If you wanna have a try:

'h' will give you a help screen, nothing more needed i guess. |

Wanna get fancy? How about 4x4 zoom mode and mouse support?
I don't do much graphics myself (and never in IFLI :), but I've always wondered why editors never do 4x4 and/or mice. |

Yes, mouse support would be great!!

Mouse should be easy to implement, i'll try this the next days.
As for 4x4 hmm, well, 8x8 is for the lazy people that don't want to cope much of the influence of sprites on available cpu cycles during fli display ;-) But i'll do some optimization on 8x8 display anayway that might also speed up a possible 4x4 and i might give that a try as well. Could be fancy as half display 4x4 and half ifli. No promises yet though ;-)

4x4 does not need any sprites, though, and does not require many cycles for display. In fact something very sensible for an editor like this. |

4x4 itself does not need sprites, but it would make sense to have a cursor that shows your actual position, as well as a surrounding box that shows the actual block. Here sprites would be a good idea ;-) |

If you don't wanna hazzle with stable timing then just simply crop some place left of the display. If you ignore FLI timing any sprites would simply push the FLI-bug to the right. Right of the FLI-bug will still be correct. Left of it will show standard color stretching. So, if you need like 2 sprites per line at most, then simply reserve 3+(2*2) chars for possible FLI-variance to the left. |

somewhat ontopic: can someone put up on codebase the cia method of stable timing? |

easy to adapt for c64 (if i could do it, you should be able to do it too =D) |
