Applewin change resolution9/23/2023 ![]() ![]() I have a few Take One animations, maybe 5 or 10, that are decent have not been seen yet.Īnd a bazillion of those little 10 line bessel function * grid plot things and page flipping demos and tricks. I have many short animations that would fit well with this type of thing. I could refine the slideshow program, and add some more keys. Otherwise it would have been done with my Apple Cat II and 212 card at 1200. The Uranus and Neptune ones were downloaded via my Micromodem II (with microcoupler) real-time, as they came into the lab I had an arrangement to get them sent to me. I've got ones of Jupiter and Saturn, but those were given to me way after the fact. ![]() I'm hard up to find the JPL SSTV images from the Voyager probe and its encounter with Uranus and Neptune. And when I update these soon I can make the change you suggest. I've got a couple hundred more, again, minimal screenshots of games. And I didn't even consider autoloading right into the show. ![]() ![]() So in finding these this became a hasty side project. I had a fit of excitement because they were intact on a Sider drive that had been sitting for 30 years. I suppose that would be a nice thing to do. This is not comprehensive, just enough to let you load and save pictures for whatever reason while you're working in the Applesoft Basic prompt. So have at it!Ĭommands for working with pictures in Basic. Precisely how to do that is beyond the scope of this document. It gets the job done.Īdditionally you may find it interesting to extract these images to a modern-day PC or MAC by using Ciderpress (or other disk image manager). It's simple, it works, it isn't optimized, it isn't neat, it isn't rocket science. PICTURES (BAS) is the Applesoft program that parses the list and displays the pics onscreen. You may edit this to change the order or add & remove pictures. Here is a description of the files in the HIRES directory.Īll the binary files which are 17 blocks (or 33 sectors dos) are the pictures themselves.įor consistency and simplicity they are all saved to page 2, or mode HGR2.Ī1LIST (TXT) is a simple text file that lists the order in which the pictures are displayed. That's about all the controls from within the slide show. S or CTRL-RESET means stop and exit to basicĬ means to continue running the slide show The arrow keys "" keys will let you manually cycle through the pictures This is tested on Applewin.Ģ - Mount the HiresPictures.po image in something like slot 7Ĥ - You will see a PRODOS menu, select #3 and exit to Basic This is what you do.ġ - Use an emulator or transfer the files to a real Apple with a real hard disk. Mathematical formulas (in Applesoft FP Basic)Īpple Graphics Tablet (the monster-sized one)Įach is a standard hi-res picture occypying 33 sectors in DOS (or 17 blocks in PRODOS). These pics (undoubtedly) were made by a variety of methods including: The difference comes in the resolution and refinement of menu structure. Amazing! And, it is quite fascinating to compare the tools we had back then to the modern day equivalent like Photoshop. If the 6502 was running interpreted basic code, the contour and bessel plots could take and hour or two to complete. The pics would then only take a few moments. Eventually we upgraded to the Apple Cat II 1200 baud modem. The 300-baud Hayes Micromodem II with Microcoupler was the bomb back then. About as fast as you read text, or slower. It was especially fun to watch these image form on the screen one scanline at a time, took several seconds per line. Sporadically I will add pictures, animations, and perhaps other mathematically synthesized art from the era. Many of these were uploaded to our BBS'es in lieu of new warez and as tokens of good will. That would tend to be from around 1979-1989 or somewhere in that timeframe. These pictures have been gathered over the years when BBS'ing was popular. On this disk you will find some of the better Hi-Res artwork done on an Apple //. Welcome to the Apple 2 series Hi-Res Pictures Disk! I originally posted them on Atariage, but thought a more appropriate site would be here. But you can extract them put them on your physical Apple system of course. This one features a little more than 200 pictures, and is in a. These are the standard 192x280圆 HGR/HGR2 screens. I put together a little collection of Apple II Hi-Res pictures. ![]()
