greenscale

low res monochrome experiments for Apple II

Works best in Virtual II. (http://www.virtualii.com/)

Self-booting DSK, runs animation at 46FPS. Loads DATA.BIN directly off disk. Up to 41 frames of animation.

Now has the ability to change the interframe delay. Press + or - to increase or decrease the delay.

Space bar pauses/restarts the animation.

To convert a GIF (named animation.gif) with the included greenscale.sh script requires ImageMagick and Python.

Put resulting DATA file on disk as DATA00, optionally with other DATA files named DATA01 through DATA99.

Replace BASIC.SYSTEM with LOADER.SYSTEM and put GREENSCALE binary on the disk. LOADER will load GREENSCALE, which loads the DATA files to display.

Longer videos are also possible, see Bad Apple here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fmbtFH2O4Q
