D O O D L E !
Back in the day, energetic
software companies hurried to get
useful utilities out for the C-64. In
the realm of graphic design programs,
three became instant classics: Doodle,
OCP, and Koala. For high-resolution
bitmap graphics, nothing quite beats
Doole!
You probably already have a copy
of Doodle. We include it here for the
sake of completeness. Doodle has
probably the simplest file format --
the color information begins at page
92. The bitmap follows at page 96.
That is why on our Mini-Bitmap
Converter (on this issue) we save
bitmaps as Doodle files.
Doodle uses the ancient method of
"intuitive" key presses to access all
its features. (Who back then thought
of having a bar across the top of the
screen with "File Edit Options ...".
Besides, though the C-64 was certainly
mouse-compatible, who knew about mice
in 1984?)
Fortunately, pressing <RETURN>
will bring up a complete help screen
for the current function. <Shift-
RETURN> gives a list of all functions
and their keypresses. Intuitive AND
documented. Perfect.
So, here is the classic High-Res
graphics program. The only way to
learn how to use it is to [play] with
it.
The rest is practice.
