TnC Internet Adventures: Photo 3D album/screensaver

This was really a discovery, with a lot of patience I found a lot of scènes for this program. It creates a 3d galery in different settings and the 3d design is simple but looks good enough. I made some yt vids with it with pics from a minecraft server.

Kaleidoscopes Part 2 : Philips Designer MSX-2

WHE I BOUGH my frst MSX comuter VG 8235 I GOT home office 1 and msx dos and a msx dcursus on disk. at home officw 1 contns a very nice screen 8 drawng program MSX Designer of A koene. LATER i got desgner plus on my nms 8245 and downloade later via my modem the latest videographics for 8280. nw i dont wantto go deeper into the differences between these prorams, they had at least 2 things in common all made by a koene and all run on screen 8. but mx desiner had one feature the other 2 programs did not havem a kaleidiscpoe i like it cause its absolutely random and afterxx visuls it shows he name of the maker. it works in series of circles, triangles or other stuf, however the choosen colors wll hurt your eyes and the multiplying after creatin a visualis not a s fast as i wiss. i like it anyway and used it in the short videoclip 2 felix with a speed up  of 200 or 500 procent

Video was made but mostly drawings with ugly colors. Edit needed badly!

TnC Internet Adventures: Online Image Editor and Gif Maker

On regular basis, my son had to make some Powerpoint presentations for speeches or overviews for books. And he needs a lot of pictures, but there are always problems like, 
it's too big or too small or it must be transparent to fit on the page, etc. etc. 

Yes yes, there are many many free image editors online, but they all have limitations and you have to pay to get these limitations removed. Not this one.

Does what it promissed, just a lot of wizards and tools you always wanted to try out on 
your images or photo's. It may be look like an ordinair image editor, it has alway great fun features for photo's. And it's totally free !
I use the transparantcy tool often, it works okay but it takes some time to get the best result.
Well, it's much easier and cheaper than using Photoshop, any way !!!

But wait, there is more.
By accident I clicked on Animation button and discovered another treasure:

http://www.online-image-editor.com/gifmaker/ 

It is so simple to create an animated GIF with this tool, you will not believe it.
Just upload your pictures (make sure they have the same resolution), change the transition (delay between showing the pictures), choose from different transitions by clicking on the box and click on create animation. Then the animated GIF will be made in seconds and by clicking with rightmousebutton, you can save the GIF with your own chosen name. 

I used the GIF maker a lot of times in the latest posts, for me a new way to show more pictures without messing with the texts.

 

Impossible Objects ( the MSX part)

First, the MSX disk was called Optical Illusions, changing the name to Impossible Objects was a logical step, cause all the collected demos were mostly Impossible Objects instead lots of different genres of Optical Illusions.   

Also, most of the Impossible Objects were not real Escher's, more inspired by. 

The disk is for MSX-2 and higher and most impressive demo is ESCHERS (option 5), which is completely written in MSX-Basic without loading any pictures showing a lot of beautiful Impossible Objects.

When I tested the disk for the last time, before uploading it to Mediafire and Pcloud,  I noticed that to pictures was damaged after crunching it ( without picture crunching I would be able to show maybe 8 pictures a disk ). The crunching was done a long time ago by myself with the first (and worst) program I could find, COMPRESS. 

I search all my disks for the original pictures, no luck. Then I tried to save the damaged pictures in regular BLOAD,S format, my VideoGraphics kept complaining about the file format. So I made a screenshot in my BlueMSX emulator of the damaged pictures and tried to fix the missing GFX in the pictures with good-old Microsoft Paint. One picture was so badly damaged I had to improvise. 

After that I converted the repaired screenshots in the online MSX conversor to MSX SCREEN 8, then I had to compress these and put the new versions on disk. Yes, you see very clearly the differences between the undamaged and the repaired pictures (also in size). 

I could try harder to repair it with other MSX drawing program, but for me, it's wasting time. 

Warning, when choosing option 1-4, it's better to reset your MSX computer after you watched it. Most of the time the ML-code for the crunchers prevents other crunchers 

to start up.

 

I included the MSX crunchers  I used, COMPRESS.BAS and PICRUNCH.BAS.

As described above, stay away from COMPRESS.

I learned something the hard way NEVER COPY FILES IN MSX-BASIC. Always use 

MSX-DOS instead. I got a lot of corrupted pictures are copying to another disk with the COPY command in MSX-BASIC.

Have fun with the disk.
