Jako początkujący w temacie, chciałem się zapytać, jakiego programu na PC najlepiej jest używać do robienia grafik do małego Atari, głownie coś co potrafi wypluć plik binarny, który można do własnych programów dołączyć w Madsie. Głównie chodzi o małe sprite'y i te sprawy.
Aseprite byłoby idealne (służy do pixelartu i projektowania sprajtów), niestety jego autor stwierdził coś w stylu, że grafika Atari jest dla niego jest zbyt skomplikowana, itp. nie chce mu się za bardzo tego wsparcia robić... A szkoda, bo program samym interfejsem, obsługą zachęca do tworzenia. :(
P.s. Aseprite do rozszerzeń swej funkcjonalności używa skryptów w języku LUA i nie jest zabronione przez autora użycie tego jak ktoś się zna.
P.s.2: Tu tak dokładnie autor stwierdził:
„Actually it was a lot of information to assimilate, I thought it were some kind of palettes, but it looks like these "Atari palettes" are restrictions in the sprite (on size and number of colors). Did you think about using the scripting API to help you in this process? ->link<-
Maybe some restrictions/checks can be done with a script (even reading/saving MIC files).”

Dla mnie SprEd był również wielce pomocny podczas projektowania duszków do mojej gry. Co prawda moje sprajty nie są tak rozbudowane jak Syrenka, ale gdybym miał je rysować ręcznie to straciłbym dużo więcej czasu. A tak dostałem gotowy kod do wklejenia do gry i sprawa załatwiona.
