- Sprite Wizard V1.0 Written and designed by David A. Visage
- (C) 1988 Message Software
- James Messa and David A. Visage
-
- Before using Sprite Wizard, you must enter the following :
-
- 1> execute execute.me
-
- This will rename all files to the correct names.
-
- Sprite Wizard is directly executable from the CLI or WorkBench.
- The example programs SW_CDemo and SW_AsmDemo are executable only from
- the CLI. The icon for SpriteWiz is adapted (or should I say plagarized)
- from the "public domain" program HACK. Although I have many good qualities,
- artistic talent is not one of them. Please try not to laugh when you
- see the gadget imagry and example sprites used in SpriteWiz.
-
- To compile and link "SpriteWiz", use the following commands :
-
- 1> execute SW_Compile
- 1> execute SW_Link
-
- To compile and link "SW_CDemo.c" use the following commands :
-
- 1> cc +l SW_Demo.c
- 1> ln SW_Demo.o -lc32
-
- To assemble and link "SW_AsmDemo.asm" enter the following :
-
- 1> as SW_AsmDemo.asm
- 1> ln SW_AsmDemo.o -lc32
-
- The assembler source is nothing spectacular, but it is a good example
- on how to use the Aztec assembler "as" to write stand alone assembly
- language programs. By the way, I have never seen any documentation
- anywhere on how to do this. The basic setup was deduced by compiling
- a simple C program with the "-a" option and analyzing what code was
- necessary to write a stand alone Aztec assembley program.
-
- If you haven't already noticed, all documentation for compiling and
- linking is for the Manx Aztec compiler/assembler package (Any Version).
- If you are using Lattice or any other compiler, you will have to determine
- the necessary compile and link commands.
-
- For those hackers bold enough to enhance SpriteWiz, you may notice
- several things that indicate that the source was not released with the
- original version. They are :
-
- (1) A routine called Convert() to encrypt and decrypt SpriteWiz data
- (2) Conditional compilation based on the definition "DEMO"
- (3) A requester routine called Money() that asks for a donation
-
- These can be removed with no changes to the operation of the program.
-
- Please feel free to contact me if you notice any bugs in SpriteWiz.
- Also, please feel free to make any changes or enhancements to the original
- source. All I ask in return is a note that mentions the author of the
- original program.
