Flashback war damals ein großartiges Spiel und ein richtiges Abenteuer. Die Erinnerungen sind aber auch eng verknüpft mit Erwachsenen, vor denen man richtig Schiss hatte. Was davon ist auch heute noch so?

VSG Retro: Flashback – Abenteuer, Schiss und Anerkennung
Flashback war damals ein großartiges Spiel und ein richtiges Abenteuer. Die Erinnerungen sind aber auch eng verknüpft mit Erwachsenen, vor denen man richtig Schiss hatte. Was davon ist auch heute noch so?
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.

@lunte161 the 1084 was definitely lower price. I guess that showed. I really do like that 1901 :-)
VIC-II games with Hires graphics look so great on it.

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.
