Designer

Designer is the program you need to help you create the graphics in your programs. On an 8 x 8 grid, design the shape you want by moving a cross with the cursor keys and pressing RETURN to fill a square.

When you have completed the shape, press F and then enter any number between 224 and 255, the spare numbers in the ASCII code.

The computer will display the character and the VDU statement you need to re-create it. To make larger shapes, use the corners of the grid to join characters together.

Designer was written for the BBC B by Gary Smith of Carlisle.
