Here we go, a ton of pics, from the demo game Imagine, the beginners mini adventure and the utilities. Plus a glimpse of what 22B Baker Street might look like(in progress)

I've been wondering if I should split up the Baker Street lodgings room into a few locations so I can do a nice pic of the fireside as well as the room entrance.

Out of interest is there any programs to convert bitmaps or jpegs to a QL screen file? It might be nice to maybe try using a few photos or screen grabs from a film etc. to see how that would look.

As far as I remember there is a converter software of Bitmaps into QL screens which is called Retro X. It was used for a demo of a SD Card Project and saw that on the spanish blog or read it on the spanish forum. This software runs on PC only. Here is a link I found: http://members.inode.at/838331/retrox.html

There are several prograns - probably the best is bmp2pic by Phoebus Dokos (that is what we used for QWord) - it only converts from BMP files, but that should do!.

After a quick look I couldn't see it in the post for this thread, so are you running ACT on a QL BB or emulator and if an emulator which one?

[vanpeebles]

It's being done on a standard QL with a trump card

How do I load a scr file on the QL to preview it?
