The programs of yakIcons:
DEMO PROGRAMS
animap.exe : shows animated map with walking characters from
"Flight of the Boodles"-- use number keys (with numlock!)
to move character, esdx keys to move 1 pixel, shift-1,
2, 4 or 8 to show different factor modes, and spacebar
to spawn a munching grumbomb. Note the pseudo-parallax
scrolling caused by the grid and clouds!
testi.exe : Miscellaneous testbench program. Currently has
stuff like yakScrollers, joystick reading, palette
cycling and fading, etc.
soundtst.exe : yakSample class; plays a sound. Usage:
soundtst <sample name>
driver.exe : yakVoc class. Plays a .voc file.
stars.exe : demonstrates the zooming abilities of the icon class.
yakdemo.exe : comprehensive demo of most yakIcons functions.
SUPPORT PROGRAMS:
yar.exe : Yak ARchiver. Maintains .yar files. Usage is similar
to arj, zip, exe:
yar [a l d x] <yar file, - .yar> <filenames>
does wildcards to a point.
view.exe : Views .yak files. usage: view <filename>. Wildcards OK.
also views from yaklib, and gives height and width infor-
mation.
mapedit.exe : Kinda iffy animap editor. Look at the code to get a
better idea of how it works. "L" loads icon, "S" saves
map, arrow keys move, <> selects terrain, spacebar
drops it. Look at the code before using!
yedit.exe : .yak editor. Usage: edit <filename>; if the filename
exists, yedit loads it; if not, it is created. use
left button to select color or plot pixel; use right
button to select background color (color zero) or clear
pixel. "M" mirrors icon at column under mouse cursor;
spacebar selects drawing color under cursor, "Q" or quit
button quits without saving, "S" or save button saves
drawing. Arrow keys move window, number keys (hit numlock)
shifts drawing (erases whatever goes "off the edge.")
yfedit.exe : .fnt editor. Usage: yfedit <fontname> or
yfedit <fontname> <stch> <wid> <ht> <#C>
where <fontname> is the filename of the font, <stch> is
the first character of the font, <wid> is the pixel width
of the font, <ht> is the pixel height, and <#C> is the
number of characters in the font. First form edits
an existing font, second form creates a new one.
bin2hdr.exe : converts any file to a C header which contains a pointer
to the information in the file. Good for including graphics
or sounds in the actual executable file.
