2008.12.24: switched some stuff around (put the color picker on the left side) and added batariBASIC generator code.

Old Stuff
  • add UI and passthrough for other things SpriteMan code can customize
  • Maybe add "LOADING..." at top, then remove once loaded... (fat page!)
  • reading in data as well....
  • help/acknowledgements
  • let frames have names, which should show up near the thumbnails and then in the output
  • visual indicator of current background frame for onionskin...POSTPONED
  • BUG: what happened to 'X' when rechoosing color?
  • BUG: frames not returning to right place after animation - have to revamp
  • BUG: onion skin bug in thumbnail - POSTPONED
  • BUG: onion skin, look at vary opaque ala Lee's suggestion - POSTPONED
  • BROWSER BUG: color picker takes long time to close in IE...
  • BROWSER BUG: Opera, color picker shows up behind other bits??

  • color rows in big and small
  • (default white)
  • animation
  • scroll u/d/l/r
  • switch for PAL/NTSC change

  • resizable canvas

  • BUG: animation not picking up correct frames when ones skipped

  • do height of sprite, bgcolor and other settable parts in output code...
  • if bufferheight decreased, erase extra lines....
  • Mirror/Flip/rotate
  • MINOR BUG: need to force frame 0 selected w/ radio button
  • tweak width of thumbnails so they are closer to what shows up on atari...make NTSC 5:3 and PAL 4:2?
