+100 - texture depacker
-192b (TEX_ADDR end and HMAX end)
-120b (HMAX values)

6638
Voxel - texture 'compression' and decompressor
-- initial texture at $1600 - $1e00, depack to $2d00-$3d00
Voxel - include HMAX data into texture compression (128b savings)
Voxel - init: generate colfiller
Voxel - init: generate CBASE
Pack all the tables on single page (0x3e00 - if possible), gaps:
- $3de0 -> 32bytes available, move HMAX_VECTORS here (from $3f50), 24b
- $3e50 -> 3e4c move colfill vectors here...
- $3e65 -> move CBASEs here
- $2c00 - 160b, from $2c60
- $3F00 - 80b+112n
Generate colfiller and vectors
Generate CBASEs (part of colfiller loop)
Generate Sea Frames banks and pages
Voxel - remove noise/leftout pixels
Voxel - banks, precalc, remove prefetch
prefetchBanks - pure asm code
Create/generate banks and pages table 64b+64b
Voxel/SimAntic - Move texture below the tables (to have continuous dat file)
Voxel/SimAntic - move below 0x4000 (banks):
-- Column Fillers (75b)
-- Column Fillers Vectors (24)
-- Screen Fillers Vectors (80b)
-- HMax Vec (24)
-- CBases (24)
-- Hmax Data (256b)
Voxel/SimAntic - rework prefetcher, to generate all frames using banks
Voxel/SimAntic - rework renderer, to use prefetched frames (and bank switching)
Voxel - init: generate screen fillers
SimAntic - add banks switching support
Voxel - explore banks - https://www.atarimagazines.com/v4n7/memorymanagement.html
Voxel - Sea Move regular
---MILESTONE1 - static render on Altirra/Atari800win------
Voxel - Move all to MADS/asm
Voxel - implement the effect using mostly/only asm statements
Voxel - defragment/compact zeropage memory used
Voxel - Defragment/compact the memory used (unrolled code vs dynamic data)
SimAntic - Dump memory to pure binary file (to be included directly in MADS)
Voxel - Unroll prefetch
Voxel - use ScreenFiller vector map
SimAntic - Visual memory map
Voxel - calculation of height scaling (f(z, h))
Voxel column filler proc
Add status bar (memory usage, cycles count (per frame))
Voxel - pre-calc heights
Voxel - pre-calc cBases (24+4)?
Init - calc hmax tab (24 rows -> 16 offsets -> 1page of values)
Test approach with innercoll - jmp_in
Section profiling
Voxel - refactor the effect using jmp calls to column filler
Init - calc in-memory column filler proc
