Some Info
---------
You'll probably need to change some paths in the source,
but everything is relative to the HomerGotchi directory.
It also uses some 3rd party libs.You'll find some on
Aminet in dev/basic (possibly utils/libs too).
If you get any tokens appearing as ????? it means you don't
have that library.Look at HomerGotchi.asc in the source drawer,
which will show the commands required.
Check out these,too:

You'll notice the code is very haphazard - that's my
style ;)
Actually,it was rushed together over 2 days,and anything
which worked stayed.End of story...
homerspalette
This is Homer's palette (ooh!).
The Comments drawer contains the miscellaneous
samples ("That's it,I'm outta here!","Gotta go...",
etc),and the Food drawer contains the "Mmm,burger",etc
samples,along with their all-important icons (well,it'd
look pretty crap without them ;).
Shapes file conversion
If you want to change the images used,you'll
have to use the source contained in the
source/shapesaver drawer.
The file Shapes_Splitter.bb2 should (!)
take the HomerGotchi/saveshapes file (it's
a file of multiple shapes,saved out using
Blitz's SaveShapes command),and convert it to
a set of frames plus their palette (needed)
in RAM:
Haven't tried it though,cos I didn't need it.
The palette may cause a bit of hassle in loading
or saving,but you should be able to sort it out!
ShapeSaver.bb2 will take the set of ten shapes,
and recombine them into a single shapes file.
Just check the paths being used and change them
if necessary...
