It scrolls by 2 pixel steps by using the 256-byte wide mode and dividing the screen into two 128-byte copies side-by-side, 2nd copy stored at an odd byte boundry. It alternates between the two when scrolling. (Similar trick used in "Demo 1" for the wavy Sock Master logo.)
can't wait for mark @ cloud9 to get my goodies to me ! It's been FAR too long since I've operated a coco. Was elated to find cloud9 's offferings.....
One day you should turn this idea into a moon patrol tribute game...if you have the spare time...it would be fun to see. The DK and Pacman games are awesome... Moon patrol is a natural.
Awesome demo - love to see the game! Seriously great work.
