Re: Create a fullscreen scrolltext
No need. We do stuff just for the sheer hell of it on here!
do you want a routine that you just initialise and it can scroll some text that you've entered somewhere?
If you want White ATTRs text on a Black background then I do have a routine already for that.

Re: Create a fullscreen scrolltext
Can you clarify you want it to run in real-time, not pause frame-by-frame for use in stop-motion animations?
Re: Create a fullscreen scrolltext
Joefish - erm - all the stop-motion is actually 3D animation done in Blender - so I'll be running it on an emulator and screen - recording. Sorry - this is all lies.
arkannoyed - that's exactly what I want - yes... What does ATTR mean?

Re: Create a fullscreen scrolltext
Sorry, attributes, so big blocky chunky looking text.
Re: Create a fullscreen scrolltext
Yes - that's exactly what I'm after!
I've not actually written the text yet... give me a week or so.

So Yogyog, is this what you need?
Perhaps appears a little jerky on here, but I think thats mostly because its an animated GIF

Re: Create a fullscreen scrolltext
How hard is it to make such a big, pixel smooth scroll across the whole screen including border?
I think I saw such a scroll in some demo, but I cant remember it now.
It looks really impressive when text appears on one side of the screen and disappears into the other...

Re: Create a fullscreen scrolltext
You can’t do pixel-smooth scrolling in the border area. The ULA is incapable of changing the color of individual pixels of the border; only 8–pixel-wide lines.

Re: Create a fullscreen scrolltext
Does anyone know of examples of scrollers that make the best of this by using it as a 'stretch' scroll? Fat on entry including border, thins on screen, then fattens on exit left including border?Ast A. Moore wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 7:08 pm You can’t do pixel-smooth scrolling in the border area.

Big enough?

Re: Create a fullscreen scrolltext
That is a whole different kettle of ULAs! It’s all to do with timing tricks, and will differ between all the machine variants, therefore also needs a model check routine too to adjust timings correctly. It does look nice though!Pegaz wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 6:37 pm How hard is it to make such a big, pixel smooth scroll across the whole screen including border?

Re: Create a fullscreen scrolltext
If you are looking for a generic routine to scroll messages outside screen then there's Rotatrix.

Proportional text looks a lot better. (Font is an old 42CPL one since I already had the sizes for the letters)
