Fab! For wave 2 can you do it vertically? :)

0xc0de.bsky.social•31 days ago

Anything is possible!

Feels like it needs a disco soundtrack. ;-)

Pew-pew pew ! 😎 Marvellous !
I've been working with double video buffer stuff too much, and blindly assumed this was what was going on !! 😅
Anyway, nice Mode5/2 split (I'm assuming ?) ! 👍

I am trying to use a single screen buffer for this one, so I have more space for graphics and code. This is all MODE 5 by the way 😎

snuggsy187.bsky.social•31 days ago

Well that's even more impressive ! 😎 Not losing too many cycles on those palette changes ?..... or are you doing a 'Starport' special ?

0xc0de.bsky.social•31 days ago

Yep, that's it. Everything between the RTC interrupt and the start of the ground needs to be timed pretty accurately (no need to be cycle perfect thankfully)

🤯 I need a lie down.
I think we mentioned a while back that it'd be nice to do a Starport technique at some point..... Hurrah 😎

0xc0de.bsky.social•31 days ago

Haha, so far it's not too bad actually. It's nice to use a different technique for a change. Until everything falls apart of course 🤣 I am so happy not to have to think in multiple screen buffers for a change
