While I'm fiddling with the image stuff (and the long road to getting the app in a state where it's usable for it's original purpose) I decided to start messing around with doing an A8 version of Paradroid :)
Ste (STE'86 aka Steve Day) has already converted the hires graphics to multicolour, something which involves lowering the horizontal res by 1/2 and it looks pretty good. The A8, not having a colour attribute system just can't display Paradroid in hires. It would need more and better sprites (PMGs) and you'd basically have to build the screen out of those. Impossible.
All I've done so far is some setup code, a Display List, a couple of interrupts and set the top part of the screen to hires (I CAN use the PMGs there to change the text colour) and the bottom part to a mutlicolour scrolling window. I'll dump out the charset and a level later and drop it in and add some joystick based scrolling control so you can move around a level :)
