Release Grafx2

[mcobit]

As it was easy and some people want a good pixelart-program, I ported and packaged GRAFX2.

More info about the program here:
http://code.google.com/p/grafx2/

PND download here:

Enjoy!

Tip: If you use it fullscreen it has the sdl bug with the unaligned touchscreen. keep it windowed and maximize the window and everything is fine.

I bet you meant to paste a different link for the download?

Do you know about djwillis' workaround for the SDL bug?

I got quite into pixel art the last time I tried it and I used to love Deluxe Paint on the Amiga. I definitely look forward to testing this out, cheers mcobit

I don't have a Pandora but when I look in this .pnd file, I see a reference to grafx2 version 1.2.1404 (the latest stable version, 6 month ago)

If you could pick the latest WIP instead, there is a virtual keyboard. It was added a month ago, when Aion did a Caanoo port.

Not entirely sure about the advantage of having a virtual keyboard on a Pandora? If there's no other improvements it would seem better to use the latest stable version??

Oops, I shouldn't post about a console before checking its hardware specs :unsure:
The changes/improvements in unstable branch are listed here, I just updated it : http://code.google.com/p/grafx2/wiki/History

You may want to check the loading of 24bit images (try a jpg) : On the Caanoo port, vertical stripes appeared due to an alignment problem that can only occur on ARM-based platforms. See here for the fix: http://code.google.com/p/grafx2/source/detail?r=1638
