Amateurs' Tools
TMS9918 still has plenty of fans who nowadays create lots of PC tools for character design, sprite design and for converting true color images to Screen 2. With respect to this latter application, it is worth underlining the use of dithering algorithms (e.g. Floyd-Steinberg) in order to overcome the color clash problem and the limitations of the fixed palette.

Famous quotes containing the word tools:
“At the utmost, the active-minded young man should ask of his teacher only mastery of his tools. The young man himself, the subject of education, is a certain form of energy; the object to be gained is economy of his force; the training is partly the clearing away of obstacles, partly the direct application of effort. Once acquired, the tools and models may be thrown away.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
