ACKPTH! It's you! You'd want news, wouldn't you.
Here:
Our own Corey Taylor and the incredibly famous Rusty Wagner have released another great Windows program, Graphics Studio (Calculator Version). This program allows you to make graphics (duh) for assembly programs on one's calculator. It works much like many icon editors do - pixel by pixel. It also has another great feature: allowing the user to import bitmaps to be used. Size and/or color isn't an issue, either; it also takes a very short time to convert them. I do this to edit my icons in Photoshop, and it's really nice once you get used to it. It's good to see them making such easy-to-use development tools. A version for the Game Boy Color is coming out soon as well. A thumbnailed screenshot is above: click on it to view the whole thing.
Also, Thomas Nussbaumer has updated Sokomize to v0.99. New changes include the addition of a title screen, various bugfixes, and alterations due to the new TI-GCC compiler. By v1.00, he hopes to have 100(!) levels designed. You can help him out by sending levels in .89t or .9xt form to Thomas via email. Download Sokomize v0.99 for the 89 and/or the 92 Plus.
Finally, Jonah Cohen told me to add a little blurb in someplace that Code Converter v.1 is out - and I quote - "a dos program which allows you to easily change the style in your Z80 source code by changing the indentation and label style." Check this out soon - it looks really good, especially considering it's still under development.
