School project

Grade 12 - Culminating task

Visual Basic 6.0

This was my final project for grade 12 computer programming. I chose to do an icon editor because there were no basic free icon editors at the time. I researched the icon file format and documented a few things myself using a hex editor, and I was able to make a library for editing icon files.

The application itself has an MDI (Multiple Document Interface) so you can edit multiple files at once. You can also create new icons and import bitmap images. The drawing tools include a pencil, paint bucket, lines and rectangles, and a text tool. I'm generally bad at creating image-editing interfaces, so this turned out surprisingly well. I'm very, very pleased with how the whole thing turned out.
