Re: Motion piQtures

Re: Motion piQtures

But its not really a program, just a proof of concept sketch. Its a bit like the nail in the nail soup scam Well, I don't know if GitHub is for big and detailed programs only... I suppose it can accept also "minor" softwares. Anyway I think your software deserves to be noted somehow. If I...

Re: Motion piQtures

Tried all the files on QEMulator under Wine on a Linux machine, works really well. Tkanks I remember a while back, there was talk about using the Minerva enabled second screen flicker free animation. I think the idea was to write one image to the SCR1 and SCR2 at the same time and flip the screen a...

Re: RWAP Software 30th Anniversary - Week 4 Competition
