I think the easiest way is to design a screen in a PC program (eg GIMP) and then convert it with EPIMGCONV, for the best conversion use EP colors during desinging.

I uploaded CPCEPsprite (http://enterpriseforever.com/letoltesek-downloads/pc-utils/?action=dlattach;attach=13008), I hope the SSR86 will not complain, because he removed this version.

Geco, please remove the tool from the download section.
The tool is a mess. It has been so badly written that it's embrasassing... and no one (but me - although some later version) uses it (I hope).
I'm trying to rewrite it (the code broke every oop rule there is and even more - a real how-not-to-program example), but progress is slow.

Mobsie, if you would need to convert an image then I could do it for you...

Thank you!

We, a friend of me and i, has begun to write and adapt the tools i use before for CreatiVision programming.

The graphics part is done, now we go to the map`s etc.
I will convert some of my CreatiVision games. Hope people will enjoy.

For me the Enterprise is an Amazing machine and NEED some games writen for HIM.

The VTech CreatiVision wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTech_CreatiVision) says that it "had a graphics resolution of 256 × 192 with 16 colors and 32 sprites".

That console is dated from 1981.

Yes, thats the CreatiVision. It use the same TI VDP like the ColecoVision.
32 Sprites, but ONLY 4 per Scanline.

You can go to http://www.madrigaldesign.it/ and then in the forum. There you find videos of my demos and games.
I am also Mobsie there.

With the EP i can do a lot more , thats clear!

it seems attribute mode
In 16 color mode, the horizontal pixels would be twice as bigger

The screen has 160x128 resolution. It looks like it's 16c pixel mode with doubled lines to achieve square pixels.

Yes, is 160x128 in 16 Colors. Not much Pixel but great in Color and fast. Only a first test.

Hi geco, thanks again for your help.
