The Checkerboardening By newline.
=================================
An entry for the Checkerboard Challenge
(http://www.pouet.net/topic.php?which=11224&page=1)
@Gerp2018
320x256@50Hz, 7 Layers, no STe needed.
1MB Atari ST.
Music: Mr.Coke/newline.
Code: tIn/newline.
Party version. For 1MB mahines probably
best to use a low memory footprint TOS
like 1.04 or so.
Technical info
--------------
This is a small attempt to up the Amiga
challenge by using a normal Atari ST
(not STe). On STe and Amiga it's very
easy to do this many and even much more
layers - but w/o blitter, no way to
change the screen address mid screen
the ST is a pretty challenging target.
This screens draws everything you see
every frame via CPU in 50Hz and in 16
colors - every single pixel every single
frame. Also every pixel is
masked. This is no bitmap stream.
Unfortunately I had no time left for
design, optimizing the fill routine
(which is slow as heck) or debugging.
Every layer is movable in X/Y indepen-
dently and Xwidth/Ywidth can be chosen
freely per row/column. Also this rout
can display transparency but now, one
hour before deadline its to risky to
add that. And big sorry for those
lousy fly-pathes. That's both something
for the final, I guess.
Also, some interactivity would have
been nice, but I had to remove thanks
to the deadline.
Now, that was fun.
