What is the best routine for graphics compression?

Post by alexeym »

I'm looking for a Mac or Windows tool to compress ZX Spectrum graphics (not only full screen .scr images but also sprites) and routine which would decompress the data and put the decompressed sprite to x,y coordinates (1-32, 1-24). I wonder what is the best routine for that?

Thanks, guys.

I've browsed over the website. It's awesome, but I couldn't find a sprite compression tool or a routine to decompress sprites and put them the screen. Could you point me to it?
