Thanks, Bob! Now I know who to ask if I have any questions on sprites and thingsBSJR wrote:As patterns are always Long words this says nothing about sample size so the mode provides the clue.
Alpha masks are a byte per pixel so RLE1 is used, same as mode 16.
Modes 32/33 use RLE2 and mode 64 uses RLE4.
Beware that this RLE naming may be different from that used on the PC side where RLE4 or 8 means 4-bit or 8-bit.

I know Santa exists, I just haven't met the real one yet - though I was awake but too scared to open my eyes when he delivered gifts to my room when I was about 4 years old. Must make that trip to Scandinavia to meet him (I assume Santa is male? I might have made an incorrect assumption all my life?) one day.

Could you please specify the minimum system requirements? Obviously on my QL (Minerva, 768K TrumpCard TK2) it crashes (system error window).BSJR wrote:Apparently nobody has checked out my latest SQRview

I ran the _bas file on my QL (Minerva, Trumpcard, TK2) and it returns a zero in #0. What does it mean?pjw wrote:He asked me to pass this on (attached).

It needs a recent SMSQ/E and High mode, so any platform that can do that should be OK.Cristian wrote:Could you please specify the minimum system requirements?

It runs on my Aurora +SGC, on QXL and QPC2 or SMSQmulator.
As unpacking Animated GIFs can quickly run into megabytes so a hard disk is recommended.

Re: Motion piQtures
Thanks Bob for your specifications (and surely for your software). With these information I can configure my emulator quickly.

Sorry, that file was not supposed to be included. It was just a test rig to make a final check for memory leaks/stack overrun.

I havent tested it on anything other than SMSQ/E. Under QDOS/Minerva, just make sure you have the Pointer Interface (ptr_gen) loaded

Thanks for giving the North Pole to Norway - or Scandinavia at least, little though we deserve it. I guess that makes YOU the best Santa ever!I know Santa exists, I just haven't met the real one yet - though I was awake but too scared to open my eyes when he delivered gifts to my room when I was about 4 years old.

Now I know why I got it wrong. He's not from Scandinavia, not even from Lapland or the North pole, judging by this photo taken a couple of years ago:pjw wrote: Thanks for giving the North Pole to Norway - or Scandinavia at least, little though we deserve it.
