Hello All!
I want to 'delight' you - the Microeditor is ready!
The only function that is not there yet
implemented is the import of standard screenshots.
But it’s not for nothing that I put the word to please in quotation marks - quite
It’s possible that you won’t see it on the server today, because...
my computer is so messed up that it can't work correctly
assemble editor's code.
But I hope that I will be able to 'disable' my computer
and you will see him [the text was written at 5 p.m., so don’t
be surprised, if it is on the server, it means that
with the heroic excrements of my imagination I created a miracle
assembled the text and filed it into one block]. Okay,
I move on to the description of the editor. It's simply simple to use
management, but it should be noted that I'm not finished yet
it should be tested for glitches, so it is advisable
experiment on a blank disk. If you find
any glitches, inconveniences [I didn’t select colors,
so don’t be afraid to say: make this color here, and
here it is], then let me know and I’ll fix it.
So, let's move on to the description.
This micro-editor is designed for COLORING,

contributed to its creation (I won’t say), then this is quite
obviously.
Okay, let's get down to the actual description:
After loading you will see a black screen on the left
in the upper corner of which there is a cross cursor, and in
the right and bottom borders are filled with a textured stripe. This
The bar itself is an indicator of the current color. It changes
as follows: Z - decrease color by one, X -
increase color by one.
Move the cursor - Sinclair and Kempston joysticks.
There may be something else involved, but I don’t remember. If
If you want to check, then no one forbids you.
Obviously, if the cursor moves to the right border
screen, it will crawl to the right, etc.
The screen is in Magnify 8 mode because... he
due to many reasons and is optimal.
Each familiar place corresponds to a point.
Now about the functions:
If you press 'fire' on the control pad, then the point on
where the cursor is positioned will take on the current color.
If you press 'L
