v1.6.1
A patch release over v1.6.0. No new capability and no change to the file format or the
exports — this one is about using the editor on a small screen, and about the parts of the
UI that were sized to a fixed number rather than to the space they were given. The web
editor is unchanged and still lives at
acwright.github.io/TMS9918-EDITOR.

Fits the space it is given
- The screen and sprite views fill their panel. The fit was rounded down to a whole
scale, so a viewport with room for 1.47× showed 1× — two thirds of the width wasted on a
phone, and a whole step wasted on a desktop. The sprite preview had no fit at all and
stopped at 12×, which is 384px however large the window. Both now fill, at any size. - The scale readout is the fit control. Press it to return to the fitted scale after
zooming;+and−step to whole scales from wherever the fit landed. - The character set grid fills the width with 8, 16 or 32 glyphs a row instead of
always 8. Columns double so a row stays a whole number of the 8-character groups the
hardware works in, and Graphics I's colour groups still line up.
Usable on a phone
- Every control is reachable. A fixed 320px pixel editor pinned the character, sprite
and screen panels wider than a phone's column, and the column clipped the overflow — the
shift, flip and colour controls were off-screen with no way to scroll to them. - Toolbars hold to two rows, folding their secondary tools behind a More button on
small screens. They ran to four rows before. - Tooltips stay on screen instead of being cut off at the left and right edges.
- The project list reads properly: the title no longer wraps, the modified date no
longer truncates toAug 22, 2026…, and a long project name gets the room it needs. - Both pickers start in their grid layout on a phone, where the scaled layouts shrink
each glyph to a sliver. An explicit choice is still remembered and still wins. - Layout tooltips read as names again — Grid View rather than a paragraph explaining
when to use it. They were the buttons' accessible names too.
