What do you think?
It can be downloaded from QB4ALL (
www.qb4all.com) from the Graphic section.
It is not only my program, but i worked on it too. I am a part of Hungarian Big Cat Society (Magyar Nagymacskaegylet; our goal is to help big cats somehow in Hungary).
The program: it is for creating sprites or animations or small bitmaps for 16 color graphic games. I would like to know if it is ok in it's current form, or should we improve some parts, or add new functions. You may test it for bugs too, but i think there are not too much in it but the ones described in the source.
Note: Mouse will not be added to it. We want to keep it 100% QB without using libraries or ASM.
There are routines in PQB for mouse input...
Y not use QB lib that comes w/most illegal versions.......lol

I don't mean to burst your bubble, but...graphics editors in QB have
a) been done to death; and,
b) there are better windows alternatives.
Unless you are doing it for yourself, no one will look at it for more then a couple seconds.
You'd b best off in the long run to just use PP256.....just only using the first 16 colours, and i think it should load in fine in screen 12

He'd be best off using a windows (assuming he's running windows, of course) graphics editing suite, such as PaintShop Pro or Photoshop.
microsoft paint blows. paintshop pro or photoshop are both infinite times better than paint.
Can You show me a drawing program what is able to handle SCREEN 9 ??
I am working on an old 30Mhz computer, and I only have this drawing application. MSPaint freezes after a few commands. NeoPaint freezes as well.
This was not made to be a drawing program, but something what is able to create graphic for the best 2 paged screen mode (it is good too that it is 70Hz), and able to alter the palettes to fit well in a game. I had only seen one drawing program what could apply palettes on images, but that also messed the palette. It is impossible to create graphic for a game with an usual drawing program. This editor can do this.

Well, I do all my graphics for QB games in DP2
I did not hear about that yet... I will try it.
The purpose of this sprite editor was to write something what can help working with images really fast and efficient under QB. I think it is able to do that... Now we are working on a game, and I am making the animations for it in this editor!
There is a cheetah animation in the package what was cut out from the game. The original had 72 frames and 8 directions (9 for each direction; it was only 9Kb in size)!
I was uploaded it again... Some small bugs were fixed, but some serious improvements were made too
