This is a product plug for a
fairly recent software release named
DOODLE by City Software. This is one
of the best graphics creators I have
ever come across. Here are just a few
of the options:
1. Joystick and Track Ball control
which makes maneuvering much
easier and more comfortable.
By the way, DOODLE accepts key-
board input also.
2. Multiple menus which explain
exactly what to do and where to
do it.
3. Multiple modes such as 'Boxes',
'Circles', 'Zoom', and 'Stamp'.
These modes allow the creator
to concentrate on whatever
needs to be corrected or
edited.
4. DOODLE also has a 'Letter' mode
which allows for text on the
hi-res screen.
5. Finally, DOODLE has an excel-
lent track record for depen-
dability. I have created more
than 20 pictures and DOODLE has
yet to fail on a save.
One problem is that DOODLE relies
heavily on the use of colored blocks
instead of colored pixels. This some-
times causes unwanted side effects.
Often when sketching, an entire block
will change color instead of just the
line which you are drawing. Although
this is an annoying problem, it can
be (easily?) overcome with a little
bit of fore-thought.
All in all, DOODLE is one of the
best graphics creators on the market
today for the C-64.
