Extended Character Definition

Working out hexadecimal codes to define characters or sprites can be both time-consuming and tedious. Using this utility, up to four character may be defined within minutes, and your TI takes on the job of supplying the hexadecimal codes.

Further options allow characters to be magnified, rotated or redefined, and different colour combinations can be explored.

Although the program was well written, I did find small discrepancy by missing the option to redefine, ending the program then running it once more. Previously defined characters would appear on he screen unless redefined in the new run, although the accuracy of the definition code was unaffected.
