- NOTES -
Remember those tools which converted your hires/koala pictures into a
charset?
Yeah, those so called 'CharWandlers'.
PicChar does the same thing for you.
Only this time on your Windows PC and instead of converting 1 picture into
a charset, PicChar enables you to convert up to 8 pictures into 1 charset which might
come in handy when doing animations using charsets.
The tool is pretty straightforward.
The only thing should know is about the Save Fix option.
Normally, the 2 first bytes of a C=64 program contain the hi and lo pointer
of the memory-location where the file should be loaded.
If you want to use the converted pictures on a real C=64 or emulator,
you should turn the Save Fix option *OFF*! Then those 2 bytes will be saved
with the file.
By default the Save Fix-option is *ON* (so no 2 heading bytes,
remember that!) because I mainly made this tool for cross-development users
and I found those 2 heading bytes quite annoying.
The only improvement in this version is that it is possible to create an
inverted charset too. So no need for eor #$ff's in your sourcecode to invert
the charset yourself.
Oh, before I forget. PicChar spits out a maximum of 9 different files;
*.chr and *.sc?
Where the *.chr is the charset and *.sc? are the screens (? equals
the picturenumber loaded in memory).
Well, I guess that's about it.
If you find any bugs, have requests or whatever, contact me at csdb and leave me
a PM.
