== 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.
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<br> ==
*Edit in Mode 0 or Mode , 1 , or 2.* View sprite animation preview at any frame rate*Edit hardware sprites for CPCPlus, with custom palette
*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
*Import any video file and generate an assembly program to replicate on the CPC
*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.<br>*Includes a basic level editor *Includes a basic sound effects / music tracker. *Cross Platform, run under Windows or Mac/Linux via MONO runtime.
