I'd like to make a tool similar to this:
https://alienbill.com/2600/atari-background-builder/
You draw what you want to see in your Atari 2600 game, select background/foreground row colors, and when you are done, it outputs code that looks similar to this:
Code: Select all
playfield:
................................

.XXXXX.XXXX.XX...XXXX.XXXX.XXXX.
.XX....XX...XX...XX...XX....XX..
.XXXXX.XXXX.XX...XXXX.XX....XX..
....XX.XX...XX...XX...XX....XX..
.XXXXX.XXXX.XXXX.XXXX.XXXX..XX..
................................

XXXXX.XXXX.XXXX.XXXXX....XX.XX..
XX....XX...XX...XX..XX..XXXXXXX.
XXXXX.XXXX.XXXX.XX..XX...XX.XX..

XXXXX.XXXX.XXXX.XXXXX....XX.XX..

Is it possible to make something like that page with SpiderBasic? If so, how do I start? I downloaded the free version of SpiderBasic and if it's possible to make what I want and it isn't too hard for me to do it (with help), I'll buy SpiderBasic and make more online tools.
Thanks.
