[Coco] hardware scrolling

[Simon Jonassen]

Nick...

I have been trying to combine colours by page flipping aswell, but the
results are less than impressive....

Quite alot of inherent flicker going on.....

I'm trying to "re enable" the semigraphics feature that should have been
possible if they wired the vdg another way.... 

The said feature is 2 different colours in 1 cell as it stands you can have
say: (yellow/black or Black/yellow or black/black Yellow/yellow) - what
would have been nice was the ability to have say yellow/green etc......

You can "simulate" this effect to a degree by chosing adjacent cells in 2
locations but it's uses are limited...

 > Yes i have dabbled a little... You can scroll the screen in the "broken"
semi graphics mode.... The one where you can mix hires (only 7 bits) and
text/SG blocks !!

Now that would be interesting to see! I wonder if a semigraphics scroll is
smooth enough?

An 8 color mode with a black border. Semigraphics gives a completely new
look to the old green/buff screen modes of the VDG.

8 colors flickered between 2 pages to mix the colors gives a theoretical
64 colors (theoretical).

The first 64 color hardware scrolling tech demo for the CoCo 1/2.

That'll have me changing my pants!   :)
