Looks very colorful! Like it. But what (not) happens to $d016? Do i miss sth?

I love how you did not whine, but decided to improve instead, well done!

it's not perfect yet (maybe the sin-tab?), but for sure this is drastically better! Keep it up :)

cheers,
BURGULAR ;)

Great work - this is way, way better.

It still uses too much memory, and needs more happening (an intro can't just be a logo) but, yeah, it's looking much better now.

Hack away... Please add colour raster bars to $d021, $d022 & $d023

Maybe add 2 more letters ? So it reads -EXCESS- and then use $d024 too.

The possibilities are endless.

It's more than you deserve

Thumbs up for implementing my whining about direction change.

Now my fingers really start itching to do another hack of this :D

Thanks To BiGFooT (BF) BiGFooT for help & suggestions.

1) Remove frame delay in calling out or IRQ swinger
2) Introduce illegal opcode LAX in unrolled code instead of LDA, TAX
3) Page align lookup table for COLOR RAM & SCREEN RAM
4) Use SINUS smoothing

Thanks to TheRyk (RYK) TheRyk for suggestion

"What disturbs me is how/where the swinging stops, I think either minimum one full letter or no letter at all should be visible before direction change."

1) Changed SINUS to stop at E and S

Thanks to all others for so much love, feedback an contructive critism:

DIDI, BURGULAR, HEDNING, GROPAZ, RAISTLIN
