My god man. You really are picking this stuff up quickly. Man, I couldn't figure this stuff out when I was writing my crappy OS. If I had, I would have continued it.

Nice, very nice.

EDIT: gg Rep system, can't give you any until I spread them around. GRRR

Thanks mate

Check this out (see attatched EXE - hit a key to exit), its a slight alteration of the previous program, but features partial palette rotation. It simulates rotating the part of the video palette from right to left but preserves VRAM values so it makes certain pixels (that are within the rotated range) change color! (In other words any pixel that starts out as red green or blue will start cycling through those 3 colors, any part of the palette can be cycled or even the whole palette!!) God, I LOVE this.

I'm going to make a rolling-road effect next.

Rolling road effect...OK you'll have to use your imagination a bit here...

Imagine you're driving down the road quite fast and you can see the road rushing towards you. That's the effect I was going for here. The heights of each band of grey was calculated and hard-coded. The palette is 15 greyscale shades in a dark...light...dark pattern, which gives the smooth(ish) pulsating effect.

Haha. Both of those are very nice. I love the sparkly christmas trees. Personally though, I would have given up half-way through the Road. I wouldn't have been able to get it perfect. Yours is. Very nice

Very cool.. probably.
My LCD monitor says NO SIGNAL.

So... Gj?

[wossname]

Maybe it doesn't support the old 320x200 resolutions. Its lovely, you are missing a monomedia extravaganza

[Kal_Torak]

I'll try on my other computer ^^
