- Blitz Shape Editor V1.1
- ************************************************************************
- by Aaron Sethi
-
- INTRO
- First off this is the Version I sent in the Amiga Format competition, so
- this version has been rushed like anything to get it finished by the end
- of febuary 94. So any improvements I've made since have not been
- implemented in this version, but instead ShEd V2 which is available from
- me directly does have everything I have been improving and adding, I
- appolagise for lack of documentation.
-
- HOW TO USE ShEd V1.1
- Err... Trial and error? No seriously you shouldn't have any serious
- problems running it, I've really tried to make it as logical as
- possible, but if you want a manual your gonna have to subscribe, sorry,
- but I mean just look what you get...
-
- WHATS THIS ABOUT ShEd V2?
- ShEd V2 has had the user interface completely rearranged with the icons
- in more suitable places, on disk their should be 'shape-ed/V2Icons.iff'
- this is a 16 col picture which shows what the new screen looks like, so
- you know I'm not having you on. As far as functions go, you've got
- even better grabbing functions Full Auto, Semi Auto and Manual. Faster
- Amos Bob conversion, more editing facilities, undo, airbrush, printing
- facilities, no restrictions on size of shapes except for your Amiga's
- memory. Best of all I'm gonna give you fully annotated SOURCE CODE of
- the whole thing, over 3000 lines of code. Together with a laser
- printed manual, over 20 pages of information, then I'm gonna some how
- squeeze ECLIPSE's latest game on their TRADER SPACE, a cross between
- Elite and Defender.
-
- WOW!! I WANT SHED V2 NOW!!!
- If you do want ShEd V2, to design or edit your shapes in, with the
- least possible fuss, all you need to do is send a £7 UK money made out
- to Aaron Sethi, then I'll despatch your copy as soon as possible, I'll
- send you everything that I've mentioned above. Then once registered
- with your own ECLIPSE member number, you'll have access to discounts
- on any future software we make....
- Also if it isn't to much hassle could you send back your answers to
- this questionnaire, that way I can tailor the editor to meet your
- needs:
- 1. Why do you need a Shape Editor?
- 2. What method did you originally use to create your shapes?
- 3. Is their anything about this that cheeses you off?
- 4. What would be your ideal method for creating shapes, Neural
- Networked Brain Interfaces are not allowed?
- 5. What type of programs do you specialise in that require shapes?
- 6. What interface do you prefer to work with(Mouse, Icons, etc)?
- 7. Are their any repetitive processes that you have to carry out at
- the moment that you would like to see as a function/s?
- 8. Is there anything about a program that you have used in the past
- that has put you off it?
- 9. Is there anything about a program that has made you like it?
- 10. What functions do you regulary use?
- 11. What features do you want included in ShEd V2 coming to an Amiga
- near you in August 94?
- 12. Looking at the 'Shape-ed:Shape-ed/V2Icons.iff' picture what do
- you think of the new interface.
- 13. Would you miss the buggy, slow big screen if I ripped it out of
- V2, now that the main screen has 32x32 blocks?
- 14. What Amiga setup are you using?
- 15. Do you have a printer?
- 16. Do you have a Modem?
- 17. Would you like a small program that speaks revision notes whilst
- you sleep?
-
- Thanks alot if you did bother with these questions, the more I find
- out about my fellow Blitz Users the more I can do to help them....
