How long will it take you assuming you still work and sleep?I anticipate having something usable sometime next week.
Of course, the above is an estimate from a programmer, which you can't trust. I have a rule of thumb: Whatever estimate a programmer gives you, double it and increment the units. For example, I told you one week, so by my rule of thumb you should expect it within two months.
It shouldn't be that bad, though, I'm doing it in VB (after spending a day struggling with Device Contexts and memory allocations under C++ and giving up), so it shouldn't take too long. Actually, I've done graphics stuff in C before, it's just that I decided the additional coding complexity wasn't worth the performance gains since these are only small 128x32 images.
I'll probably convert the download.c code into a DLL and call that from my VB program to get the transfers done.
The ability to use any color depth picture will be cool.I've already got the color reduction working (hard cutoffs only, no dithering). Turns out that the values I asked for at the top of this thread look completely wrong on the Windows screen, so I had to hand-estimate my cutoffs anyhow.
A logo editor should be put on the empeg software disc.Even if one were, I dunno if this'd be the appropriate one. It's written in VB, and a really old version of VB at that. But hopefully it'll work, only time will tell if it's even any good.
