BATH DESIGN MADE EASY An ingenious device which suits anyone who needs to design their own characters is a plastic wallet with two 8 x 8 grids marked with numbers around the edge. A set of magnetic black squares can be put on to the white squares and moved about without fear of them falling off. After a character has been worked-out the numbers of the squares can be fed into the computer to form each line of the character. On the Spectrum they can be fed in as binary using the BIN function or on the ZX-81 using the decimal equivalents read from the pad. The characters can be designed quickly and easily without having to have the computer on. They can also be designed in a car, bus or even in the bath. Two grids are included so that bigger designs can be made by using more than one character. The MCP can be obtained from MCP Co, [redacted] for £2.95.
