04/26/93 11:50pm Technical Notes... --------------- Humm... lesse... the first two parts are no marvel of coding, but the last page should be familiar from the ts-crit loader. I re-wrote about half of it though, and this time we have a bouncing scroll. The screen is a virtual 1024x225 layout. The top scroll is 25 pixels high, with 25 empty pixels above and below for a total of 75 pixels. The bounce and scroll is created by moving the offset register by 1 horizontally and one line (1024/4 [Mode X again]) vertically according to a half-wave sin table. You'll need about 500K free, at least a 286 with VGA to run it. <T*S> [iCE] Ottawa, Canada! *Note: A number of people have told me that they've had problems getting the loader to run when selecting the SBPro for the music device. It works fine on my SBPro, so it's hard to tell what the problem is. I suspect it's with this version of GoldPlay, but if you run into trouble, try selecting the ordinary SB for the output device, or failing all else, use the <GASP> PC Honker. Don't worry, I won't be using GP for much longer anyway... I bought a Gravis Ultrasound the other day... ;)
