53 column mode

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.cbm/browse_thread/threa..

Found this pretty cool... I guess this has idea has been used before in demos by way of proportional fonts..

any proportional routine can handle the same mode. you just prepare your character set and length table with fixed size, that's it.

The intro has a part with 100(or so) column mode :)

Loader is shit. Each part can be loaded seperately 8-D

64'er-magazine had "ready-to-use" 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-pixel fixed width font routines in one of their issues. Must have been late 80's IIRC.

Where exactly in that demo is a 100 column mode? I failed to find anything. There's a hires lower border scroller somewhere in the middle of the demo, but that's only about 1/3 of the screen wide.

Actually, You'll find it 2 places. One (as mentioned) is in the intro below the raster splitts. The second is in the plotter/sprite part. Oh yeah, to avoid any confusion, it's the sideborder (3x5) pixel scroller :)

to be totally fair it's 96 columns. Then again I did say there about^^

Edit: Try this one for variable font width :) It's based on times newroman size 12. I have no idea how many columns it is but still it shows the general idea^^

Unreleased Demos

load the "crapateria" part.

I didn't want to nail you down on the 100 exactly. It's just that from your description I expected something completely different, like a text screen with a lot of char rows. :-)
