- Ive been playing around with the falcon extension, and have been enjoying
- some of the commands which it has to offer, especially the Multi Plot
- command. Im probbably going to register it within the next wek or so.
-
- The question I have, is how are the screens in AMOS layed out. Im working on
- a C2P routine of my own for my raycaster (which I am having problems with
- generating rays) but am not sure on the layout of a screen. Are they layed
- out in memory, as Screen Width*Screen Height, with each byte of this being
- the pixel colour? eg.:
-
-
- 44444444444444444
- 10000044444000004 Each number in memory, is the INK colour of the dot
- 44444044444044444 on the visible screen.
- 99999999999999999
-
- If this is the case, then cant I assign a massive chunk in memory of the
- same size, instead of using PLOT, i can use a POKE to the new data, and then
- COPY the entire block to the (i think its Phybase(Screen)) start address of
- the physical screen in view??
