These are some handy documents which address some of the more obscure features of asciiblaster:
[ Decrease brush size ] Increase brush size <Alt> + <LMB> on canvas Fill brush with sampled color <Alt> + <Shift> + <LMB> on canvas Copy canvas to brush <Ctrl> + <LMB> on brush Erase cell <Ctrl> + <LMB> on canvas Draw with background color <Shift> + <LMB> on canvas Draw line from last position <Shift> + <LMB> on character box Switch to next character set <Shift> + <LMB> on stored brush Delete stored brush <RMB> on palette Set background color (when drawing with a letter)
Characters not forming part of the initial set in the character box beneath the colour palette
encode to, assuming UTF-8, 2-3 bytes in total vs. one (1) byte for those part of the initial
set (e.g. 0-9, A-Z, a-z, etc.)
Repeating patterns of alternating back- and foreground colours, and vice versa, are encoded
using a single (1) byte in mIRC format (video reverse) and as such save space, especially
with large numbers of repetitions or alternations.
