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.

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.

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.

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
