GangEd 3.0 beta
===============

Yet another C64 editor. Bitmaps (hires and multicolor), charsets, sprites,
PETSCII screens, D64 disk images, a 6502 monitor and an assembler, plus an
importer that turns PC pictures into C64 graphics.

GangEd 3 runs on Windows, Linux and in the browser:

    https://ganged.thegang.nu


Running it
----------

Windows   Unpack the zip anywhere and start ganged.exe. Nothing is installed.
          Settings and the window layout are kept in %APPDATA%\GangEd.

Linux     Needs SDL2 (libsdl2-2.0-0 on Debian/Ubuntu) and glibc 2.39 or
          newer (Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 13 or later).
              tar xzf GangEd3-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
              ./GangEd3/ganged
          Settings are kept in ~/.config/ganged.

Keep the assets folder next to the program, GangEd needs it to start.

Files can be dropped on the window: pictures open the importer, and .gpr
projects, .d64 images, .prg files, C64 picture formats and assembler sources
go where they belong.


New since GangEd 2
------------------

- Runs on Linux and in the browser, and as a 64-bit Windows program
- Redo (Ctrl+Y), and Ctrl+Z for undo next to the old Ctrl+Alt+Z
- Circle, ellipse and rectangle tools, outline or filled
- Block selection with cut, copy, paste, flip and invert
- PETSCII import of PC pictures, bitmap to charset converter
- PNG export, "New D64", zoom around the mouse pointer
- Dockable windows with a resettable layout
- Drag and drop of files
- A pile of bug fixes in the D64 code, the 6502 emulation, undo and the
  image loaders

Not in this version: serial, Codenet and RR-Net transfer, "Go address",
the Exomizer call and printing.

This is a beta. Save often, and tell us what breaks.
