is a split sideborder scroll done before??
high party people.
the last days i was bussy with coding a sideborder split scroll. with a split scroll i simply mean a scroll that scrolls the left 20 chars to the left and the right 20 chars to the right. through the sideborders... smooth ofcourse and i only used sprites in the sideborder, so no ugly extented graphics...
not very hard to code but i had some fun... the question i have is this done before and is there a record.. my version holds 25 chars high, and you only can use one speed... it scrolls the whole picture one pixel each frame...
i am curious.
greetings,
Testa

Quote: Ofcourse it does :( How else do you think Cruzer made those rocking highres arrows in the lower border + 8 sprites in One Year Camelot III? Or the 41 column wide picture Soundemon made in Tense Years?
Oh.. Well, sorry about that.
So then what do you get inbetween the splits, $d021, recycled graphics, or something else entirely? I guess I could spend five minutes to write a test for it myself, but where's the fun in that ;) |

Are you talking about this?
Wicked
Part 0c, on side 2 (shown in the release picture). I think I did 15 1x1 multispeed scrollers, next to a 15 line logo swing. It all uses $d016 and the bad lines are used on the 1x1 side. I forgot how ugly that "big ol' sprite" was in the middle. Think it was also covering some bad screen cuts. It's 10 years old, I didn't know any better :)
I never thought of doing a split scroller in the sideborders, sounds like a nice idea. I won't code it though, I've enough problems with my border routines, haha.
If you need a logo, give me specs, I'd be happy to draw something up for ya... |

Phantom thanks for the offer!.. for this effect i already have found somebody. but if you want, you can make some graphics for the demo i am making?.... would be nice..
about sideborder routines, it really isn't difficult at all, come on and go for it....
about your split effect in Wicked: nice idea and nice little production..

then again, that's too obvious and with the number of sprites, badlines prevent this from going into the sideborder ofcourse. Still, looks cute. |
