I need an art editor, even if it’s really, really basic, and I need it to work with the Pico 1, on PicoMite (my OS hasn’t released yet) ---

I’m actually working on one right now… Probably about 8 or 9 days given my current schedule. ---

Nice! Just tell me when you do release it, because I will need it VERY soon 🙂 ---

Someone did a sprite editor in MMBasic, will need a little converting for the calc tho. ---

Not sure if this is the one referenced, but a quick google search brought it up. The display and interface code would have to be rewritten to use the 320x320 screen. And if it uses any HDMI specific PicoMite commands like SPRITE or tile stuff, then all of that would have to be rewritten as well. Keyboard input may need to be adjusted too. Seems like much of the code on TheBackShed was written for HDMI/VGA devices and not for LCD displays. It’s no wonder that practically all the MMBasic code for PicoCalc so far has been text based. 😉 > **[TheBackShed.com - Forum](https://thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=15367&P=1)** > > The Back Shed's Homegrown Power home page. ---

Sounds good, work has been light so I was able to crunch a bunch out last night. Maybe a few more days 🙂 ---

Will be a tad longer than 8 days, I ran into some problems with the pico hanging itself due to memory restrictions.
