- i've felt a need for this sort of thing for a long time, myself.
- the ULTIMATE Cool But Hard As Hell suggestion: Integrate it into DPaint
- 3/4.
- This HAS been done before; there was a program that let you do animation in
- DP2, which had no animation capabilities.
- As an artist and a programmer, i can tell you that it's a real pain drawing
- pictures designed for intense copperlists. (for instance, i have a small
- program that throws up one of two built-in pictures during my boot, with
- copperlists on them; the images are only 4 bitplanes but have 40-50 colors
- displayed, counting some duplicates.)
- Of course, i also realize that this would be a real pain in the arse to
- DO...
- ...maybe i should just suggest this one to EA, when i send them the letter
- telling them all the problems with DP4's implementation (mainly that
- horrible sluggish palette and range requestor...)
