Compute!'s Pixelator program

Post by Alan »

I finally found the programmable character editor program I used endlessly as a kid. It was called "Pixelator" and it is in the October 1982 Compute!

Does anyone have this program? Even a scan of the program listing would be great.

I was googling around looking for something like that and found http://www.vic20listings.freeolamail.com/ which is a great resource!

I'm new to the vic scene and hadn't yet discovered Pixelator... Looking forward to getting my teeth into this and others ;-)

I completely missed this :oops:. Thank you for pointing it out, and thanks to the owner R.M. Smedley. It's a real gold mine, and last update is very recent (Aug 20th).
