v1.0
HI!
And again with you J / CIC. This time I present to you my new
development - a graphical editor 3color'nyh screenshots: AGA (ie
is AGA-ADVANCE GRAFIX ARSENAL). I was prompted to write his
complete absence of normal (I think) 3C editors. And so
as a mode of 256x192 +8 colors is, in my opinion, perspective, I
sat down to write this EYEACHE.
It all began in the winter 98'ogo when, after reading an
article about a ZF6 3C, I have a couple of days Scodie, for
fun, prog, which could totally decent edit one third of the
screen in "any point of any color" - 3color. Show off in it,
I've posted his pen pals in different cities. What was my
surprise when they gave me MORAL SUPPORT in writing the full
version of this editor, although I reported this quite yet
thought ... Then I did preparing for FUNTOP'98 - rivet effects
(This was in June). But after thinking and weigh everything, I
came to the conclusion that sense of AGA (benefit) will be more
than demos.
And so, nichinaya July, I began to write AGA. And he wrote
as much to early August, then there was the two week break,
because I just tired of not sleeping at night and almost never
is. But after work resumed, and I did everything that you now
can find in the editor, procedures except load / save - to me,
to my enormous regret, have not had time to do (although he
worked with might and main night before departure for Moscow,
and lay half hours ...). As a result, I earned a heavy cold,
and all FT'98 walked with temperature, without voice and with
his handkerchief. But I still brought along AGA. Only here show
there is not managed.
Hotkeys.
-----------------
Immediately realize that the top of the screen displays a
picture that you draw, and at the bottom - the image of the
Scrin under the microscope with a magnification of 8 times. In
the middle print is different supporting information.
E - Call menu, where you can without shortcuts
Managing Editor.
J - call menu load / save (we discuss it below).
Q, A - as in the editor you can edit any area of the Scrin
(in MAGNIFY, on the main screen, if you configure the editor,
respectively), and show a very different, the key 'Q', 'A'
needs both up and down to select the observable part of the
Scrin. Moreover, left, right is unnecessary, because Horizontal
output All 32 familiarity.
I - changes the number of displayed rows Scrin 8 to 5 and vice
versa (It is necessary to improve performance, but more on that
below). B - bright ON / off for the top of the screen.
M - magnify on / off (this is also to increase performance).
W, S - the window size increases, in pixels, 1-13 (also for the
increase in speed). ENTER - highlight the main screen magnify
the situation or not. H - on the main screen, select the
position bright'om magnify or flash'om.
G - enable / disable the crosshair on the main screen, which
will be comply with the cursor to magnify.
SS + (0-7) - choice of color, which you will draw, zafilivat,
drawing, etc.
SINCLAIR - Cursor control / gun.
R - attachment cursor / crosshair to the site, which increased
in magnify (and, if CURSOR joystick to change this area, the
cursor will he go after him, as attached - very convenient ...).
K - coordinates of the cursor on the screen to print the edited
pixels or familiarity + shift in familiarity. Y - the cursor
appears in the middle of the loop. X - magnifying glass is
moved to the cursor.
Yes, keep in mind yet and that the difference between the
cursor and the eye not because Sight is the same cursor, but he
points out cursor position on the main screen, as in ART STUDIO.
On - on / off the curb.
To curb black color - is how much CPU time eats
1 problem is the withdrawal of all posts, magnify, picture,
etc.
but no drawing functions and zafilivaniya - the second
problem and
white color indicates how much is her time to the CPU.
Moreover, task 1 must always be realtime, so no
put max settings, if your PC will not pull! and task 2
rarely realtime. And this gives rise to some unexpected
situation. For example, you can somewhere something to
draw, while complex
Philetus something else, etc. Or I had a situation
when debugging 2-I hung up the task, and 1-th task properly
worked ...:-)) You've probably already guessed that the
1-st problem
depends on interrupts. So I organized a task 2'h
sequence.
F - zafilivanie selected color, ranging from the place selected
cursor. Zafilivaet color, which indicates the cursor when
activating this function. BREAK - ESCAPE.
D - drawing the line. Cursor position at which you enable the
feature will be the first point of the segment, and by clicking
the fire, you specify a 2-th point. The color line also need to
choose in advance. BREAK - ESCAPE.
C - like drawing a line, but here you'll draw a circle.
T - elastic on / off for the 'D' and 'C'. Steep mode, where you
can under a magnifying glass with enviable precision drawing.
Z - exit.
Almost all of your belongings behind the keys will be
reflected in a string message on the screen.
Modes.
---------------
At this point the editor can operate in four (4) modes:
1.MAGNIFY EDIT
2.FILL COLOR
3.COLOR LINE
4.COLOR CIRCLE
Name of the active mode, you'll see after the "MODE:". I
think You understand that the regime: 2, 3, 4.
1 mode - is the primary, which under a magnifying glass you
are doing something, but not the devil, filite. To return to
the modes 2, 3, 4 in 1 to press BREAK.
Disk menu.
---------------
If you do not know: one 3COLOR'ny screen consists of 3
normal, with different colors. So have a blue, red, green
screens, or simply B, R, G.
In the disc menu, their hot buttons, so do not transgress on
the glitch. Disk operations can take place in three different
screens (Which decomposes any RGB image - it's BLUE, RED,
GREEN) or directly with all three. Function LOAD, perhaps,
understandable and without comment. Oh yeah, do not be alarmed
if the third third of the screen will attribute glitches - is
in that one-third (8 sectors), Georgia directory handle +
attributes this to one-third (1 sector), Georgia system sector.
So I had to distort due to a catastrophic shortage of memory
.:-((
SAVE function requires to enter the file name. For this
second third will be a strip of white attributes, where poked
keys You can enter it. Function SAVE .. IN - is shipping to an
existing file. In general, it is similar to LOAD, with the only
difference that is unloaded. MUSIC function is not implemented
due to lack of memory. Although in this version, I would like
to implement it. She had to get specified code block from the
disk and cause a 1 / 50 seconds. That is, can be used to
download and play music, or download the clock, etc.
Now about the extensions that understands AGA:
B-BASIC
W-WORD
H-ALASM
A-TASM
a-MASM
D-DATA
3-AGA
all the rest - CODE
Expansion AGA obtained during shipment of three screens.
How to use 3C screens.
----------------------------
They can be used anywhere. To do this:
HALT
output blue screen
HALT
output of red screen
HALT
output green screen
so for 3 FRAME shows one (1) 3Color screen.
True, this will be a slight flicker, but if you turn down the
brightness of the monitor, or wear dark glasses :-), it will be
about her forget.
And yet, does not necessarily show the whole screen
(256x192), as well be consistent with each screen (B, R, G),
with the same coordinates of the same size cut sprites, and
skip to the above analogy. But do not forget to remove
3C-screen for as long as it has a need, ie can not show it
once, and he will be there permanently and have it every
perevyvodit times. Now, I hope everyone who does not know the
technology 3kolora, to understand something, and if it has not,
then read the second format of: "Programming" - "SHARING
EXPERIENCE" - "BMC" (If I remember correctly ...).
NAPOLEON'S PLANS.
------------------
After increasing the memory of his pentagon'a up to 256K or
512K I plan to immediately release v2.0, but now higher than
the second where you unlikely see (and if you and you will see,
probably, in delirium ...).
So, what exactly will be in v2.0:
- Work with windows
- Fill texture
- View the entire screen and its treatment
- BRUSH, SPRAY
- A smooth color transition in the window (with textures and
4x4
extended color gamut)
- Work with 3D graphics
- Loading of the resident and his parallel work with AGA
- Something else that I have not yet invented
- New bugs
By the way, if you find bugs in this version (but first find
out what bugs there are, or so I thought of the program),
immediately I report them in any way. In addition to gratitude
(which, unfortunately, not put in your pocket), you get a new
version of the editor (and will wear it in your pocket even
before the death pc). Still would like to get your feedback on
my progress work (in vain I can not sleep at night and people
do not need AGAv2.0 ???).
