Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the insights. But - as you
wrote - Blueberry is using copper loops. So, there must be some
(compatible) trickery with that.
Maybe (???):
1) The 4px high texels are split up (2 x 2px) by using two identical
consecutive copper loops. This would give one the chance to insert
the needed 2 cycle spacer in between which could be setting
$dff086 that has to be done anyway. Drawback: Time, since the
number of 'color value pokes' into the copperlist is doubled.
or
2) The 4px high texels are left intact (=no splitting) but then the
address where the copjmp will jump to has to be set per hand
outside the copperlist once per copper loop when line 2 is being
displayed. Drawback: Timing; don't know if it's feasible.
Schtroumpf à Lunettes over and out. - isokadded on the 2023-01-28 12:10:12

Quote:The copper list looks like nothing special to me, just 54 color
moves racing the beam perfectly and a skip/jump pair to loop.
This would lead to a shifting of the color slots since only 112 of the
113 copper cycles per line are used, right? So, there must be some
kind of correction - maybe something like an extra move (nop) after
two lines in order to waste some extra time (2 cycles) and to bring
the slots back to their original position.

Any bean-spiller intentions and willing to give a hint? - isokadded on the 2023-01-27 12:45:20

- Another great tune by Crazy Q. I really like the style - so fresh and
saucy. And another release by spkr. This time on Amiga. This spkr
seems to be restless dude who seems to have the aim to leave a
footprint on every (old) platform / machine that's around. Personally, I
prefer spkr on his main machine. spkr = Atari ST!
as for the following statement in the introducing text of Clubisque:
"But just a little bit slower"
That's right :-( but superior in its entirety ;-) - rulezadded on the 2023-01-26 15:13:39

Thanks for the info. Yeah, looks bearish-great despite the trickery with
the interspersed spacers. - isokadded on the 2023-01-25 11:41:57

- I like the colorfullness of the image. Not so sure about the text and the
attitude. But very nice and appealing rotozoomer!

For aught I know, Photon's record was already beaten by roondar /
powerprograms some time ago (208px and 52 colors per line, though
w/o scroller and music). - rulezadded on the 2023-01-24 16:37:06

- Nice Idea and cute music. Looks and feels great. The movement of the
ball structures reminds me of Shockwave in Transformers3. - rulezadded on the 2023-01-23 13:47:26

- Precious antique. Fantastic what WC (oops, the acronym doesn't sound
so cool) did in the beginning of the early Amiga demo era. My favorite is
definitely the yellow ball scroller. - rulezadded on the 2023-01-20 11:43:41
