I am trying to make a super mario game i have my character ready just need to use block maker so i can create a level.
1. Make sure your tiles are 320x256
2. download and install PPaint on your Amiga, see links in 1st post.
3. Open your tile in PPaint, there might be some color reductions.
4. Save your tile as a 320x256 16 color iff, make sure you select IFF type on the right side of the requester.
5. Adjust your colors, you may have to swap your background and foreground colors so the background color is Black (0,0,0)
6. Save it again.
