====== Zappit! ======
**Zappit!** is a sprite editor from [[qlwiki:Quest Automation Ltd]] which provided an easy means of creating, editing and adding moving coloured sprites to your own SuperBASIC programs, using in-built machine code functions.


You basically have a sprite movement file, which details the number of sprites you wish to create, their size in pixels and position of each sprite.  You then enter the number of pixels in a chosen direction that the sprite will move.


Having done that, you then create a separate sprite shape file, which determines the colour of each individual pixel for each sprite (in 8 colours), allowing you to see a magnified view of the sprite, as you enter the details.


A neat utility.


Advertised features include:


  *Up to 99 sprites on screen simultaneously
  *Each sprite in up to 8 colours
  *Up to 80 x 40 pixel size
  *Automatic collision detection
  *Adds 13 new BASIC commands
  *Can be incorporated into your own program from BASIC, no PEEKs or POKEs required
