WTB: light pen

Hey all!

I'm keen to start playing around with MINISKETCH on my VIC because I love to doodle! Trouble is, I don't have a light pen. Would anybody have one they would be willing to sell to me? In his thread, Mike mentions that he has tested his program with the Turbo Computer Lightpen, but I'm hoping that any standard VIC-20 pen wil work in the same way.

Yours hopefully,
Stuart

You can find instructions on how to build a lightpen yourself in the docs of this release:

http://csdb.dk/release/?id=132880

The docs are a file that can only be run separately on a C64 or in an emulator, but all the info is there.

I will have a look and see what's what with that! Be handy to have a backup plan if I can't source a pen.

Thank you :-)
