Casiopeia add-in intro screen

[helder7]

Following the idea of Casimo I started drawing a intro picture to be used in future add-ins/games for Casiopeia gets more popular.

I'm not good with pixel art but I let down the first draft:



Below is a screenshot taken from the calculator:


-Should I remove the bars at the top and bottom?
-What can be improved?

Demo to test on calc (basic)

Code: Select all

I'll use this label in my future games and programs.
And to the improvement question:
You could try to dither the "Casio" like in the original logo, it could look more futuristic, but I don't know.

If you don't know what is dithering:

click: Show

this is a black square oncalc (I cannot show you a white square, that would be useless
XXXX
XXXX
XXXX
if you remove every second pixel, it will look a bit gray
X X X
X X
X X X

A better example is this:
original, with grayshades:

dithered image with just black and white:


I hope you know now what I mean.

I know what is dither.

I used a pattern of Paint to fill the letters and removed the two bars.
I also increased the x axis 1px(left) to be like the site logo.

Result: Show

Pattern used is not very concentrated thus does not make the logo too dark. I think it is nice.

I also tried to create an image directly converting the logo using a "dither" filter:

Result: Show

In pc picture looks nice:


But oncalc no:

Screen pixels are big (and the calculator has little resolution) to do a good dither effect.

I think the first image is ok or you think I should improve something?
I will also use it in future programs that eventually launch for fx9860.

I like it this way!
Oncalc, it looks good!
