 |  PETSCII Power
 The 31 October 2013 is the deadline for a pretty nice graphics compo previously launched at CSDb: the Plain PETSCII Graphics Competition consecrates the art of PETSCII drawing in its plain shape, color matrix and screen once background and border have been set, no special effects, no fireworks, no borders opening, just PETSCII. Right now, several fantastic works have just been inlcuded in the competition, which appears to be quite a harsh battle.
Big competitions need better berforming weapons to fight with, you know. That's the reason why Markku Reunanen (aka Marq/DKD) has developed PETSCII, a powerful crossplatform graphic tool with tons of innovative features, including smart PETSCII mirroring and rotating, copy/paste, straight conversion, multiple exporting options and so on. It works under Windows, Mac or Linux.
Ok, quite nice. But where's the intopic part? Well, just from today, PETSCII started to support Plus/4 format too, besides PET, C64 and VIC20! And further improvements are on the way!
Don't miss the experience to try this cool one, let's PETSCIIing right now!
Update! After few hours, the author added a fantastic C64 -> Plus/4 feature!

Wow! The 2^10th news item. Nice number. Was it someone's influence from our scene or the author's own decision to support the plus/4? The compo over at CSDb already has some great arts.

In the experimental source version there is now a function (shift-C) for converting C64 image colors to Plus/4.

I joined the compo with a little stupid joke: a Plus/4 -> C64 conversion of the PETSCII picture from my old release The IT Crowd, just to show part of the potential as converter of PETSCII. As I've added as production note, I'll wash out this lame entry with a real PETSCII gfx from scratch until the compo's deadline, if I'll be able to
