Display List Interrupts routine: problem

Sun Feb 12, 2012 5:54 AM

I found this DLI ML routine that could suit my needs (e.g. more colors like my 2600 game L.E.M. or a beautiful sky).

(program 10 + program 12)

There is a problem.
As-is, cyclically artifacts appear (see yellow pixel on the right):

If I completely remove the bar draw part (type 126 GOTO 240 in the program), I get those moving artifacts:

To do tests, you can use the attached .atr and type ENTER "D:DLIST.LST".

New Players editor

Have you checked out the nice players editor that appeared in the Atari 8-bit programming forum?

If I am not wrong nothing similar exists, in particular so user friendly and with the feature of calculating the ORed third color.

History is written by the victors... luckily it isn't always so.

As I always write, history is written by the victors.

Atari (and Commodore) achievements nowadays are often forgotten by mainstream medias.

So I was glad to see those pages on the October issue of the popular Italian PC magazine "PC Professionale", issue that celebrates 20 years of the magazine.

I was very surprised because in Italy Atari 800 wasn't popular.

Luckily journalists with an historic knowledge exist.
