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.

Sounds good, I'm curious...
Here are a few RGB121 tiles for you to practise/test with.

Seems very interesting, I think.  
One question I have, regarding creating TILES files (PNG). Which Windows or Linux program can I use then?

Actually, however, you can use whichever painting programme you are most comfortable with.
I use windows Paint.NET for Painting, for Linux, Pinta is comparable.

and some little, selfmade Tools in mmbasic4W to convert them to RGB121.

Peter, with your efforts you are greatly promoting the gaming capabilities of PicoMite,
perhaps soon we will approach the gaming capabilities of TIC-80.

By the way, one step forward could be to promote support for MMBASIC in the TIC-80 system.
I know that the developers are willing to add programming languages ​​desired by users to the project.

For pixel art, I usually used GraphicsGale for Windows. It's free.

For the last few years, I've switched to Aseprite. It's a paid program and is available for both Linux and Windows.

It's on Steam and sometimes they have it very cheap.

Aseprite is much easier to use.
