BASIC drawing proggy
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2018 8:31 pm
hey all,
I've written a very simple drawing proggy to use on my unexpanded zeddy and I'm pretty happy with it.
***edit*** there is now an 'ascii' version with save and print options, too.
You litterally move the pointer around the screen with the four keys, then the T key will raise or lower the pen and allow you to draw or erase. It does everything I need really and I can get a simple picture done before it bombs out of available memory.
One thing I would like, however, is the ability to save the drawing once it has been made on the screen, and I hijacked @mrtinb's thread, to that effect. Got some good suggestions on that thread, so once I have been able to expand the RAM (either with the blank screen ram pack that i cant get to work, or with the ZXpand+ that I have pre-ordered) i will report back.
