This small program will convert a selected bitmap into a dba.

Here are some examples:

will be converted to:




and will be converted to:



and finaly this will be:






Here is the download link:

Ok the scoure code of the small bitmap is big but if you make
a no media game it would be very useful.

My reference:

Use : gosub sprite

and position this after the loop

sprite:
rem sprite code here
return








and dont try to convert big sprites

Nice idea, a couple of points...

It might be better and would definitely be more compact as DATA statements, and a loop to read them.

INK and DOT are really slow. It would be many times more efficient (we're talking hundreds or thousands of times faster) to do it as a memblock.

The problem is that not all DBC users have the 1.13 update
so they cant use memblocks but this program can be used for
1. DBC (all versions)
2. DBP (all versions)
3. Qbasic (only 4.5 or higher)
4. c++ (with a small converter that will be done)

EDIT:
In a bitmap could be hunderts of the same color. Ill merge
all dots with the same color code to save time. And bits
of course.
Maybe I will also use lines instead of two dots
- this would save time

interesting.

but you should use data statements. or atleast decrease the length of the file from 100lines to perhaps 10lines or something, using ':'.
