Nucleon
Nucleon is a suite of programs by Pyramide to help you create your own programs.
The package includes the following programs which are started from a simple main menu:
- Compact Draw - a drawing program, that will then generate SuperBASIC code to recreate the picture. *Font Definer - a program to allow you to define your own fonts (character set) as well as icons for use on screen. Once defined, you can then create a new boot program which allows you to install as many character sets and icons as you wish
- Windows - an icon driven program to allow you to set up and adjust window channels on screen (including borders, shadow, colours, size and position). It then creates the SuperBASIC code to set these up. *Maestro - a program to compose music using the QL's built in BEEP function - compose the notes on screen and then generate a SuperBASIC program to play the tune for you.
- Integrator - a program to add machine code routines to the generated SuperBASIC program (all sections created by the above programs can be merged together into one program). The package also includes machine code routines to compress the screen, swap between graphics screens, return the amount of free memory, access and use the fonts, paint an area of the screen, disable the break key and spray paint an area of the screen. —-
