Presentation - a new graphical editor 3Color Studio.
(C) CRIMINAL / DIE KRUPPS GROUP Novocherkassk group Die Krupps Group is pleased to welcome all our readers this remarkable journal - ADVENTURER 'a! This article is written especially for him and intended to illuminate new release of our group - 3Color Studio (Hereinafter - 3CS). The author of this development is Gulov Andrey (aka Criminal / DKG). 3CS - is a full-screen color picture editor with the ability to map each point to its color. To start with I (Criminal) would tell about the history of this product. The fact that I'm not the first who wrote the editor of its kind - to me did DISABLER / OHG, but its editor had a lot of shortcomings, such as step arrow keys - 4 pixel ... always ... Or here's another example, the movement on the screen is done by icons but it is still half-troubles, as before editable window go down to the end, you can hang ten times - speed simply astounding, and the main drawback, though it is rather a bug than lack of it is impossible to put the pixel in the rightmost corner and underneath. There are other flaws, at least significant: - Ability to edit only two-thirds of the screen; - During the editing is not clear how it will look like in the real sizes; - And so on (those who have something to draw It will understand me); And now the most important thing - why I decided on such a thing as writing your own editor? It's very simple. More recently, We, as always, the flimsy writing a new demo and, of course, though, began to think, but What is so out of place to draw graphics somehow. After weighing all the pros and cons, decided to do the same to draw graphics in a tricolor and of course, as our artist (L. Archy) immediately rushed her to draw - first in ART STUDIO, then MultiStudio. Jobs was tight, all because of the Latency of the latter. Meanwhile, I watched as the poor L. Archy muzdykaetsya with only one picture (about 2 weeks). At first it was funny, but then I had an idea, a naive, such why not write an editor that would exceed in all respects the existing MultiStudio. All members of the DKG entu endorsed the idea, and then it began ... Pair weeks, I was sitting at the computer and, as they say, sat out. Here it should be noted that I have a PC at this time was not in the best condition (Always buggy when working with a disk, and in general, behaved provocatively), and began it's still where we were preparing for FT'98. But after visiting my HOUSE Lord 'Om Archy relevant to prichindalami treatment of unruly computers (Maul, saw, planer, a scalpel), the problem has been solved, and work closer to my happy ending. Now you can witness the (I hope) beta version 3CS in the annex to the magazine, and on your own experience to see the convenience this product. Well, now directly on the possibilities the full version 3CS (marked "*" marked by what is not in the beta version): - Dispersal of the cursor from 1 to 7 pixels; - Editing the whole screen; - Change color of keys from 0 to 7; * Installation / removal of brightness (the key "B"); - Move the window editable when the cursor window borders (the same for the cursor keys); - To display an editable window as it will, after editing, ie in the tricolor; * Window position in relation to all edited image; * Upload / download to disk in BMP format of the entire screen (or any sprite sizes within the screen, but only unloading); - Standard Xcolor + supported; * Ability to listen to music during work (loaded from the main menu); * Setting for any type of computer (Selected from the menu); * Palette of 128 colors (menu); * Conversion of a standard screen length 6912 bytes tricolor picture (Loaded from the menu), etc. I think these opportunities enough to interest any GFX 'maker, so it makes no sense continue to list all the pros 3CS. Now for the not very pleasant, more about the most unpleasant. Full version 3CS is a commercial product (as opposed to from the beta version, which is fully SHAREWARE 'Naya) and requires some investment. In general, I want to get about 400-500 rubles (new) in order to maintain a belief in the necessity of such products. Distribution disk is 40R. And Retail 10p.
