Subject: Re: My first practical suggestion for JSWED

 

WOW! I Had no idea that the author of JSWED is on this list... BIG respect... I use that program pretty much daily...

I'm writing a port (slowly) of MM for the Texas Instruments TI/99-4A, and I am using JSWED to steal all the sprites and character data!

So far, I've written my own sprite designer on the TI-99/4A and have been running the sprite editor on an 'emulated' machine on my PC, with JSWED and my 'TI' side by side. I then visually re-create each sprite from the JSWED grid to my grid... All done by hand, slow I guess, but no problem.

I would like to beg two functions if I may be so bold...

A SPEED function in the rooms editor... I would like to be able to slow things down, so I can see how the conveyors animate, and also to try and see the start positions and start frames of the nasties at the start of each level.

A PAUSE function: Allow room animations to be stopped completely. If I could turn off animations, that would be great. I could then look at each room and see the start positions and animation frames of the nasties. Very nice.

If you want a PayPal donation for your program please let me know... I feel a bit guilty using it every day! It's a seriously great program!

Kind regards

Mark.

I noticed there is no import or export feature for fonts, be it full or
partial. I know this may not be a major feature that would benefit or
excite existing/potential authors, but it could be a useful addition to
JSWED in the future.

OK, that'll be in jswed 2.3.2 if I ever get round to it. I'll have
to search out Andrew's list of jswed bugs as well.
