Notes:
|
|
+ 128 Byte demo for the Apple II (1MHz 6502)
|
|
+ Written in 6502 assembly language
|
|
+ Uses "high-resolution" graphics mode which is 280x192 in 6 colors.
|
|
This mode has lots of complex color-clash and memory-interleave
|
|
issues which make it a pain to code for.
|
|
+ The Apple II has very simple graphics. No hardware sprites, no
|
|
VBLANK/HBLANK interrupts, no scrolling, no palette
|
|
changes, no acceleration of any type. The only feature
|
|
it has is two graphics pages
|
|
for page flipping (which is not used in this demo)
|
|
+ Depends on the Applesoft BASIC ROM for "HPLOT" routine
|
|
which means it requires at least an Apple II+ (released in
|
|
1979) or later machine.
|
|
Should work on a II+/IIe/IIc/IIgs, and even an original
|
|
Apple II (1977) if you have an Applesoft language card
|
|
ROM expansion
|
|
+ Based on Hellmood's 64B DOS demo "Autumn"
|
|
+ Saves a few bytes by running entirely in the zero page
