@Dilwyn @Tobias,

Thank you for you help and the info. I'll see if I can improve my Super Basic programming skills

Best,

Hi all, The last time I had some fun digging out my Users Manual and doing some Super Basic programming using Qemulator on OS X. I tried to define a procedure which opens channels and windows with various formats on the screen. The procedure should be flexible and I want it to transmitt values in or...

OK, the first questions I did resolve already, it was just a preference in Safari which needed to be unflaged and now downloaded files will not be opend anymore automatically.

And also the second one as I can attach ZIP files directly to Qemulator.

Sorry for making you bother

Hi all, downloading some software over the net which is zipped I sometimes get into trouble makim it run on Qemulator. I understand that sometimes the software looses file headers OK. What can I do that OS X will not automatically decompress a downloaded file? How do I unzip the software within Qemu...

Thank you Dilwyn, downloaded. I hope to get into this this week and will report how it worked for me.

Thanks RWAP, downloaded and tried out. It's not as easy to use as DPs Sprite Generator and in the Basic Progs I sometimes get some errors (reminding that I'm Using Qemulator). Need to investigate further. I looked after Zappit!, thanks for this info Mr. Navigator but couldn't find it in the Net. May...

Yes, this gos off topic and I have just created a new thread, let's go there. I have always some spare time to do some pixel work on sprites, just started to do some Galaga bees ;) Just looking for somebody who could do the coding. Would be cool to create a nice retro arcade game for the QL! Best, T...

Hi,

I'm following up a short discussion with Mr. Navigator as we both tried out DPs Super Sprite Generator but find it limiting in some ways. Is there any other package around which has the same or better features?

Best,

I just did the artwork Job with this sprites using the Design and Construct programs. I tried the Demo program and noticed that it is flickering a lot which apparently is caused by the 4 pixels a time movements you have experienced. It's far from smooth movements ... Do you know any other sprite pac...

Hi all, Congratulations to the programmers! Very well done and very interesting. To support your efforts, today I sat down for a couple of hours and pixeled the original Space Invader Sprites - as can be found in the original Arcade Edition - using DP's Super Sprite Generator. I was doing this on QE...
