Event id #2643 : Plain PETSCII Graphics Competition 2017
question for the organizers:
in wild petscii compo you say it's allowed to use ECM. but with ECM only the first 64 chars are useable, so basically only letters and numbers. that sux.
so is it possible to pick up any chars you like from the CBM font and copy them into a new charset in the first 64 positions? or that's against all the rules on Earth? |

Yeah, that would be quite nice if that was allowed, since it would open up a lot of possibilities for effects. |

What is "plain" PETSCII then? I haven't heard that term before. :)
But yes, ECM with copied chars surely isn't "plain". :D |

Plain enough for me if the char gfx isn't changed at all. |

Maybe "Extended PETSCII"? Since ECM stands for Extended Color Mode according to the Programmer's Reference Guide. |

Not sure if that's all a bit too artificial. If there are different background colours AND copied chars, why not have something like PETSCII copied to a hires bitmap? So you can pick any of the 256 ROM characters and have arbitrary background colours per character. |

so today we invented PEETSCII and HIRETSCII. perhaps it's really too much for a single day :) |

I think the line should be drawn with SWAPSCII, since it's char mode just like PLAINSCII, just with the char positions swapped. BITMAPSCII is a whole another mode. What's next - SPRITESCII? |
