General Note:
|
||
|
require an Apple IIe with 128k. I don't use any advanced IIe
|
||
|
effects (no 65c02, no double-graphics modes). I mostly just
|
||
|
need the 128k of RAM for use as a RAM disk as it's next
|
||
|
to impossible to load data while music is playing.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Aside about the Disk II, Woz had an amazing design but it's
|
||
|
controlled with cycle-accurae assembly bitbanging the hardware
|
||
|
and is essentially hard real-time. Interrupts or running other
|
||
|
code while loading likely would make the disk fail. I'm only
|
||
|
aware of two demos that do this, X by French Touch and
|
||
|
X by Y. Haven't had a chance to look at what they did.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Music is using my PT3 player that can play .pt3 tracker files.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Disk code is by Qkumba. It's super fast. I'm using that with
|
||
|
raw disk sector reads, there's no filesystem on the disk (no AppleDOS
|
||
|
or ProDOS).
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Intro
|
||
|
horizontal scroll, a bit of a pain
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Chessboard
|
||
|
various ways to do this.
|
||
|
cheating and using a sprite as didn't have time to hack up
|
||
|
a 3d-render or else some sort of triangle-drawing code
|
||
|
re-using existing sprite code, you can see artifacts on edges
|
||
|
because the code is working at byte-granularity for speed
|
||
|
but each byte holds 3.5 pixels. One way to fix this is to
|
||
|
have a separate mask sprite and oring things but that would
|
||
|
severely reduce the frame rate and take up a lot more space
|
||
|
|
||
|
Tunnel
|
||
|
I wasted a week trying to get a good tunnel effect and gave
|
||
|
up (after some very interesting chunks of buggy code).
|
||
|
Drawing circles is a pain on 6502. So for this I just
|
||
|
took 2 screenshots and page flip
|
||
|
The real effect here is a bit more interesting that a plain
|
||
|
tunnel as it wiggles the camera around too.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Interference
|
||
|
This one is I think just interference between two circles.
|
||
|
This one I used some existing code I had that was doing something
|
||
|
vaguely similar with sine waves. I didn't have time to try
|
||
|
to do the proper effect. Even with table lookups and self-modifying
|
||
|
code and using lo-res the frame rate isn't high and it would probably
|
||
|
be worse if I was doing the proper effect. This effect does
|
||
|
go on forever though.
