Cool to hear :). Also those who absolutely wants a 160 mode just have to use LCDTOOL then run it before using your program. :P

Wow nice work! I think that a dedicated lib for higher image quality and colour depth is a great idea (and not something that anyone else is currently doing).

The speed is still good imo, and DJ is right about 160 mode.

That being said, there is sure to be a large demand for true colour images/games on the 84C.

I know this may be ot a little, but have you put any thought into video? :D.

tr1p1ea: The more colors, the larger the size, but with 3.5MB of Flash you can fit a lot in! As for video, I will try to get something working, just the thought kinda scares me though :( It will have to be a very low resolution with limited colors, maybe something that will convert gif animations?

Actually an animated gif function would be great! You can share meme's on calc :).

I'm pausing it again to finish Frogger, here's an updated version, nothing major, WriteText and an Optimized mode has been added and all previously disabled functions have been enabled. Today I got a jump on an Animated Gif Converter which will allow 'movies' to be played on the calc. I'm also optimizing it so that for simple animations high resolution videos might actually be an option :D

videos would have to be appvars running from archive for sure.

Thanks, awesome! I'm still finishing Frogger, but IViewer v1.5 should be released on 9-2-13. I've been using the Developer Converter to convert all Froggers images and I'm pretty happy with it.

Oh nice. Is the Developer Converter some tool that converts to multiple formats and code or was it a community tool?

Thanks Sorunome, Art_of_camelot, and DJ!

The Developer Converter allows you to select how to convert the image mainly to be put into an assembly program. For instance, if you wrote a game that draws its sprites using the 3 byte transfer instead of the normal 2, you can load your sprite, select the 18 bit option, convert it, and it will export the sprites text into an asm file that you can copy or add to your program. I tried to include every possible option and theres a lot to choose from, thats why I also created the Easy Converter, so that someone who doesn't know/care how the display works can convert images for their calc. When its finished, I will make some videos on the different scenarios showing how it works. I even forget what I'm suppose to be doing sometimes and I wrote it! Unfortunately, its still not finished yet, and I don't even have a clue when its going to be done. Frogger took a little more time than expected and pushed Tunnel and IViewer back. Tunnel should be finished tonight though.

*Before I forget, the names IViewer and mViewer for the Inspire are just a coincidence, I didn't know about mViewer until after I made IViewer. I don't know what the m stands for, but I'm glad the developer used it!

Well I think the names are fine, since in the TI community nowadays, most people prefix simpler use programs (text/image viewers, for instance) with a calc letter, such as nDoom (Nspire), cgDoom (FX-cg10/20), zDoom (83+), etc. Not sure where the m from mViewer comes from, tho.

IViewer, Image Viewer ... seems pretty logical to me so its fine.

Also the conversion utility should prove very valuable for many programmers im sure.

Multi-media Viewer Maybe? Dunno.
