Oric Screen Editor released

September 12, 2022

After releasing the C128 and Commodore Plus/4 versions of my Screen Editor, VDCSE and TEDSE, I now have also ported my screen editor to the Oric Atmos.

Oric Screen Editor is an editor to create text based screens for the Oric Atmos. It fully supports using user defined character sets.

Main features of the program:

  • Support for screen maps larger than 40x27 characters. Screens can be up to 8 KiB (8.192 bytes), all sizes fitting in that memory with width of 40 at minimum and heigth of 27 at minimum are supported.
  • Supports resizing canvas size, clear or fill the canvas
  • Support for loading user defined charsets (should be standard charsets of 96 characters of 6 bits width and 8 bits height, alternate charsets of 80 characters or combined charsets of 176 characters).
  • Includes a simple character editor to change characters on the fly and directly see the result in your designed screen.
  • Supports the Oric serial atribites for ink, paper and character modifiers (standard vs alternate charset, double height, blink).
  • Write mode to freely type characters with the keyboard
  • Line and box mode for drawing lines and boxes
  • Select mode to cut, copy, delete or repaint (only color or all attributes) the selection.
  • Move mode to scroll the screen contents (due to memory constraints only for the 40x27 viewport)
  • Palette mode, including visual charmap mode, to visually select characters and colors
  • Favorite slots to quickly select 10 favorite characters
