+kisrael #1 Posted June 10, 2020 I know there are a few playfield editors out there, which ones support continuous drawing (vs click on each box), high res backgrounds, and export to bB's "X.X." style? I threw one together for my own amusement: https://editor.p5js.org/kirkjerk/sketches/vrge4bcrf simple b+w, at DPC+'s high resolutions (you can probably figure out how to change it) press any key to dump out the bB values that can be plugged into https://www.randomterrain.com/bb_files/ex_dpc_template.bas If there was a great clamoring for it I would improve it to know about colors or output asm (with all that weird bit twistyness) or make it more configurable or outputting a ready to go .BB file, but I figure this is 80% of everything and only took me half an hour or so 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Random Terrain #2 Posted June 10, 2020 The VbB playfield editor lets us draw continuously, but drawing on bigger playfields is sluggish. For example, a playfield that is over 80 rows high is frustrating to draw on using VbB. Speaking of drawing DPC+ screens, take a look at this: atariage.com/forums/topic/301174-dpc-drawing-program/ It's basically useless for programmers. It's just a toy.

There are many times when I would draw and something will not appear as I thought it would or the preview screen would change. These DPC+ tools are very helpful.
