Thanks Luciano!

Wasn't expecting the results to be quite that good. But hey, I'll take it!

Best part is, it means that the next part of this project should work just as good, since it uses the same concepts in Javascript. (more on that later)

Thanks for the update on the off-line version. I'm glad I remembered to update that page.
I see some new features for the Cust Char gen script on the horizon. So you may need to download it again in the future.

For one, I'd like it to do "Animated" characters too. Shouldn't be too hard right?

That's excellent Darrel!

I know how time consuming Java can be. Not difficult, but time-consuming. To give everyone an idea of just how time consuming, I've spent about the past fortnight doing my final Java assignment for UNI. If I did it in Visual Basic, it would have taken a few days! The assignment is a complete application - Short Course Management System. It's graphically-based and utilizes many Swing components, this is the real time-consuming part - designing & programming the user interface (UI). A total of 20 classes make up the project. When I say it's object orientated I mean it's nothing but OOP. This is Java's ultimate strength!

Hi, Darrel

As I widely use the generator to show different kinds of signals and graphics on LCD ... I use to store the 8 characters groups as include files.

BUT ... what is missing a bit is how to MEMORIZE a "character vs code" picture.

Could you add a feature like "print screen" .... ???

Thanks for your help

The day i found energy, time and cash, i'll update the PicMultiCalc in such way that you'll be able to store them in a personnal "Library" Like icons... sort of.
