Spider Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 Its fine. 🙂 I do sometimes shorten it but (like my example above) I wanted to make it readable. 🙂 BBC Basic well the first GCOL number specifies AND/OR/XOR (not sure on order) so more fun can be had. Only issue is Mode2 = 20K = 32K total = 12K for everything else. Not great. Shadow Ram helps a lot so that 'page' won't move, aka you've still got the same amount of ram regardless of video mode.

Jet Set Willie Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Yes, but I was thinking that 12K is enough for a little colour lines show. 🙂 Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Set Willie Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Thank you for asking! I´ll have a go later. 🙂 Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Set Willie Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 (edited) Here´s my interactive MSX lineshow, you can press space to add black lines. You must keep pressing to add them, it wouldn´t be much interactive otherwise. 😉 I tried to bring the program as a text file here, but only half of Notepad´s output had any sense. Open Office fared a little better, it showed 193 pages of garbaged program, 😄mostly just garbage. At the beginning of the text file, among first readable words Open Office managed to print were Boot error Press any key for retry 😂😂 [Edited] Open Office must have dug up those words from MSX-DOS´ code. A good achievement actually. 🙂 I´ll attach a disk image here to try. 🙂You´ll find it at the end of this reply. Load it by typing RUN"LINESHOW.BAS" CTRL and STOP to break to Basic. Stop pauses the scrolling when you list the program, also pauses a Basic program during running it. Breaks the scrolling of the LIST, too. You might want to first redefine keyboard to find CTRL and STOP on an emulator. 😉 To list a certain line, eg. 20, type LIST 20 To list certain lines, type eg. LIST 20-100 To list certain lines from or to LIST 20- or LIST -100 Next a little teaser from the new book Where´s Woody Willy? 😉 An answer page below. 🙂 Not really, but try to find all the Willies from the Where´s Willy page above. 🙂 Lineshow.dsk Edited January 30 by Jet Set Willie Spider and jetsetdanny 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Set Willie Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Try to find them, the ones you are not totally sure of, does not count. I have currently found 13 Willies . 👏 It´s my own rule, so this does not count, but I had found 14th one, too, it´s not a totally clear Willy, though. But while doing my countings, I noticed that technically it must be, as it has few "impossible" pixels there. But without machine specifications knowledge, my score is 13 Willies. 🙂 Try to find more! Including that "impossible" pixels Willy. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, thank you for the code. 🙂 I did not (yet) have time to look at it, I just ran it and took two pictures. To get a 'better' later view I increased emulation speed to 1000% for a few seconds, then back to normal. 😮 jetsetdanny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Set Willie Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Wouldn´t it be nice, if Basic speed could have been 1000%? 🤪😍😬😖😋🤩😁😛 Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
