Hi there,

I've decided to pick up development of Image2BBC again. I'm currently reviewing all of the code and redesigning sections of it to primarily allow for better flexibility and maintainability. This will be a slow process, so I am not willing to give out any release dates as yet, but I will keep you posted.

Kind regards,

Francis

I started porting Image2BBC over to 64-bit Linux only to discover that I have a HUGE crash-inducing bug in my image libraries when compiled for this processor architecture. I will need to look over all the code again and fix this issue. :(

Kind regards,

Francis

Hello Francis,

I like your program a lot and did use it many times to convert pictures for the Acorn Atom. This means that I load a picture, display it in monochrome BBC mode with the right dither pattern and then take a printscreen shot. Then I convert the picture to Atom resolution.

Is it an option to add the Acorn Atom display modes?
Code:
Mode  X      Y  Colours Memory
 0    64  x  48    2    0.5 K
 1a   64  x  64    4    1.0 K
 1   128  x  64    2    1.0 K
 2a  128  x  64    4    2.0 K
 2   128  x  96    2    1.5 K
 3a  128  x  96    4    3.0 K
 3   128  x 192    2    3.0 K
 4a  128  x 192    4    6.0 K
 4   256  x 192    2    6.0 K
The Atom colour pallette is static and can not be changed:
Code:
Value:    Colour:    Grey scale:
  0       Green        Grey
  1       Yellow       White
  2       Blue         Black
  3       Red          Black

Addressing is straight forward, top left is $8000 and bytes are sequential from left to right and then 1 line done. In colour mode each pair of 2 bits displays a coloured pixel.

Greetings
Kees

Hi Kees,

Yes, I can certainly add that to the list of features to add. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

Kind regards,

Francis
