Out Now – Drag ‘N Drop Issue 12i3

The Spring issue of Drag ’N Drop is now out and has an action-packed content of RISC OS articles.

• Einstein tiles − find out what’s been getting mathematicians animated recently, and how to create your own in Draw.

• Draw2Jpg − full listing of application to convert Drawfiles to Jpegs. Tutorial on using it with the free third-party DDF2Html to convert Impression files to HTML, complete with images.

• 3D Turbo Boost − review of Amcog’s latest game and an article by the author on how it was created.

• Custom Iconbars − fed up with that boring grey stripe at the bottom of the desktop? Find out how to make your very own colourful iconbar.

• Leaky − simple but addictive game demonstrating how easy RISC OS sprites are.

• 8-bits − a sprite editor with a difference: one which lets you see how the shapes will tessellate.

• RISC OZ – regular column from down under, this time looking at your Pi’s user port, the GPIO.

Drag ’N Drop is a RISC OS magazine delivered in PDF format (a download). You can download a sample for free (PDF only) and if you like it you can then purchase either the “magazine only” edition of just the magazine, or the “full” edition which is a Zip download of the PDF, the type-in listings already typed in and ready to run. Not only, for the first time in Drag N Drop’s existence an HTML edition of the magazine is included!

The HTML edition of the magazine only comes in the “full” download (ie the one with programs) and is very much in experimental stages and is designed to complement and not replace the PDF edition. If you have any feedback please let us know!

You can read your Drag N Drop on the screen or print it out. It costs GBP4.25, or GBP5.50 with a Zip (archive) file of the type-in programs already typed in! Sample and purchase your copy at www.dragdrop.co.uk.

HTML – will that load into Textease?

If so your Mag could be readout aloud.
