From Stanislav Udin To Kirill Palmin 16 November 2001

Hello Kirill! 15 Nov 01 22:37, Kirill Palmin -> Evgeny Poddubny: KP> aot: how things are now on the spectrum with improved support KP> graphics (hardware)? I remember there were ideas and developments that are used KP>li KP> now any of these (games, programs, etc.)? There are various schemes for expanding Spectrum graphics: here is the increase number of colors, and hardware multicolor, and increased resolution (384*256, 512*192). There is real benefit only from the 512*192 mode (though in monochrome), since it is quite simple to implement and there is software support for it. For example, Lara supports it, providing a full 80 characters per line. There is also a good text editor for this purpose (ACEdit), commander, something else. But it makes no sense to write toys using all these extensions, since they are all slow... Long promised to develop a video card for Speck with acceleration, let's see what comes of it. Stanislav
