Hang on, there's a link to a portable version pre-built. Will give that a try now.

Length of a bus!

Thanks, that one did come up in my search but part of a bigger thing that you need to build from source, from what I could tell.

The editor is pretty good. It looks like it is only a full screen editor and I don't see any options to export smaller sections? The CPC colour editing works great, and it has support for so many different computers. If I could change the canvas size and export sections it would be perfect.

It probably is, in all seriousness. Once I'm set back up with QT I can write a proper exporter integrated in Turbo Rascal, but a script will be a quick workaround for now.

I can write a script, but wondering if there's a perfect gfx tool for the cpc?

The game I made to re-familiarise myself with the Vic 20 was a snake based game. If I do the same on the Amstrad it won't be the same game (as that does exist on the cpc) but another slither-y themed game.

Secret! ;)

Being able to share with like-minded people is a huge thing in modern times, so much easier to do. More so if you can get a physical release and hold a tape or cartridge in your hands. Love your games BTW.

It's great if you can make some money from this. My day job is not games, so my projects on old computers (mostly Vic in my case) is primarily a creative outlet. Hope you're having fun returning to the 64 and other platforms as well?

Hmmm is that price correct, it's £20 more than was recently quoted in a press/web announcement from a couple of weeks ago?

I was confused on two points for a second; I thought Annabel was looking good in 2025 and Brian Cant, then I noticed the date. A little bit sad now.

We had small also, but I do like the clarity of four.

I was going to ask if there was an app or script you could use now. I don't remember finding anything that helped at the time.

Yea, cause how would his mother get it to the Albert Hall? Is that covered in the narrative?

My 2010 mac used to frustrate me saying I had x number of GB used for various categories including 'other', but could never tell me where or what specifically. I suspect much was wasted for temporary files like this.

The other is on his bedroom wall. Did you have the next verse involving his mother...?

I hum it everytime Nigel is on the news. So hum it a lot.

We're one step away from mime and smells in filenames.
