VSG Retro: Flashback – Abenteuer, Schiss und Anerkennung

A Teletext Viewer on the c128‘s VDC chip. Requires 64 kb VRAM and a WiC64.
NEU IM BLOG von @the8bittheory: Ich war 12, als ich mich mit meiner Party von Abenteurern im verfallenen Skara Brae wiederfand. Völlig auf mich alleine gestellt. In The Bard’s Tale III.

Soft-Sprites on the VDC chip are awesome!
Get the demo here: https://github.com/The8BitTheory/vdc-basic/blob/v2f/examples/softsprite.d64

I learned that working with VRAM is very flawless with the VDC-Chip. But changing register values often is a problem, even though the status register says OK.
In this case I could solve this by keeping track of Regs 32/33 values myself in parallel.
Transparent Softsprites working :-)
The left screen shows the metadata required to make this as easy as possible on the CPU. Basically a mix of block copy commands for solid areas and OR commands for the transparent ones.

Working on Soft-Sprites on the VDC-Chip. Works on a byte-level already, the cyan pixels show that work on the pixel level is still needed (2 pixels per byte in this case).
Rendering these 10 soft-sprites in a basic-loop takes about 9 jiffies at 2 MHz.

oric_issI've just published the sources for #QR_code generator adapted and optimized #Oric,#MOS6502. Original code by: @the8bittheory.

Added rendering of bitmap fonts to the VDC-Basic extension.
Rendering of single characters was available before, but had to rely on FOR-loops in Basic.
Now, VDC-Basic can handle full strings in one go, rendering full lines nearly instantly, close to the speed of the regular PRINT command in textmode.
