AMSprite - Amstrad CPC Sprite and Loading Screen Editor

Introduction

If you're writing a game for the CPC this cross-development GUI tool will allow you to generate ready-to-use sprites and loading screens for the CPC in assembly language.

NOTE this initial release doesn't include any error checking so may crash at inopportune moments - save your work regularly.

This software is free and open source. It is very much work in progress, so if it breaks or is confusing, let me know!

Features

• Edit in Mode 0 or Mode 1
• Export to MAXAM/WinApe ready assembler
• Select palette from authentic Amstrad set of 27
• Import any image file and convert to amstrad sprite or loading screen
• Export a blank image with indexed amstrad palette for editing in external paint program. Can be reimported.
• Includes a full test program to see your sprites in action on the CPC.
