Nik,
>I notice that it's presented as shareware. Did you get any money from this?
Ha! But, that's ok. I suspected that might be the case. I just hope some
people enjoyed it. With 90 downloads I hope somebody did. I get a lot from this
forum. I suppose it's ok to give something too, huh? I originally did it for an
animation project my wife was working on anyway. (She's the idea person- she
told me she needed it and I just implemented it)
>Also – I notice that at 320×200 some of the dialogue options are off the edge
of the screen a little. There were a couple of very long horizontal options
that would have been better if they were shorter.
Hmmmm….. Good comment! Actually, working in 640 x 480, I never considered
this…..
>but I was excited by the effect of watching the screen build up with the cel.
Thanks. I like this part too. It can certainly add to an animation. We
once used this with a blue screen (chroma key) and live video for a pretty neat
effect.
Good thoughts about the dialog messages too. I really appreciate your input.
I'll have to get out my thinking cap for your wishlist though……….

Just a general note: at Toxic Frog, all the POCO routines we develop are at
320×200 for this specific reason. We use higher res for development, but all
dialogue are designed along low res layouts. -dave

Thanks. Good thought.
