Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi all, thank you for your responses to my questions about the paint program. I have two more questions I would like to ask with regards to the CMM2. Firstly, is there an extension for a PC paint program like libresprite or gimp that would allow me to draw using the 12 bit rgba scheme that is on the CMM2? And secondly, how do sprites work on the CMM2? Is there a good resource for that I could consult? Thank you.

The CMM2 user manual has detailed explanation about sprites and other commands and functions.

The CMM2 graphics manual expands this material.

Usually I edit my images on Gimp and export them as PNG selecting the appropriate pixel format
