What is "CopperToy"?
CopperToy is the utility that allows programmers to create raster bars very
easily! It allows you to save, load, and edit copper lists with a variety of
tools.
Edit
~~~~
-> : By pressing the right arrow the red, green, and blue values
will be incremented by one.
<- : By pressing the left arrow the red, green, and blue values will
be decremented by one.
F1 : Pressing F1 will increment the red value.
F2 : F2 causes the red value to be decremented.
F3,F4 : Works just like the F1, F2 pair, but for the green value.
F5,F6 : Just like F1 and F2, but for the blue value.
<SP> : Pressing the <SPACE> bar, or the left mouse button, causes the
raster that the mouse points at to be made the current color.
RMB : Pressing the right mouse button causes the current raster to be
set to black. ($0000)
Up,Dn : Pressing the up or down arrows causes the pointer to move up or
down, respectively.
C : Pressing 'C' causes the current copper list to be cleared
totally!
E : The 'E' key causes you to exit the program.
Save
~~~~
When you press 'S' you will be returned to the WorkBench screen and
presented with a file requester. Select the path/file where you want
your copper list to be saved. After that you will be asked which color
register you want your list saved in. (For programmers intending to
use the copper lists in their assembler programs, color 0 refers to
hardware register $180, color 1 refers to $182, etc.)
For programmer's reference, the copper lists are stored in the
following format:
<beam position> ,$fffe
<selected color>,<color>
<beam position> ,$fffe
<selected color>,<color>
etc.
Note: The list DOES NOT end with a $fffffffe (end of c-list),
therefore you must supply your own. The file is binary.
Load
~~~~
The 'L' activates a file requester that prompts you for the name of the
file you wish to load.
Special Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Under the current release of CopperToy you must have both the reqtools
library (V37) and the explode library (V6) in your libs: directory.
CopperToy MAY CRASH if you perform disk i/o (save/load) and attempt
repeated i/o (save/load again) without giving it enough time to finish
the first.
