Thanks for sharing.

I like the note " code probably mostly sucks and is disorganized. It always starts out nice, but things go downhill from there :-)"

Thanks for publishing the source file - I hope it encourages the 7800 homebrew community. Beef Drop is a very impressive game!

If you don't mind me asking...did you use any artwork programs to create the graphics?

Most graphics were done either using existing Atari 8-bit font editors, or for 12 color modes with a text editor and a program to convert the graphics to binary format. I may have used a program to turn 4 color fonts to text mode before editing some of the graphics for 12 color mode initially.

Would you be kind to tell me the names of the programs you used? And is there any for the ST that you know of?

There are some C files in the download that I compiled and used to import sprites. I might have perl versions of those too somewhere. Also an a8 font converter in Perl it look like is in there too. The fonts are then in text files.
