a2shape
Compile an Apple II shape table.
Input file format is as follows:
Each line is a shape.
Each line consists of plot/move commands as follows:
u = no-plot up
r = no-plot right
d = no-plot down
l = no-plot left
U = plot up
R = plot right
D = plot down
L = plot left
Example:
LLLLLDDDDDRRRRRUUUUUllldddD
RRRRRDDDDDLLLLLUUUUUrrrdddD
That produces two shapes.
Each shape is a box with a dot in the middle.
The first is drawn counter clockwise, the second clockwise.
Usage can be gotten by -h.
Usage: a2shape.pl [-h] [-a] [-b] [-d] in_file out_file
-h Print this usage
-a Output shape table in Applesoft BASIC format
-b Output shape table in binary format for BLOADing
-v Turn on verbose
-d Turn on debug
