 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

You're away for a few days and miss out on all the cool new features (PicoMiteHDMI MMBasic USB RP2350A). For anyone else who's in the same situation, here's a quick video summary of the news. I finally got round to testing my video grabber (HDMI and VGA! - Colour Maximite 2 is also possible). I hope it helps some of you. https://youtu.be/0g14Llv0SuA - Breakout https://youtu.be/Hh9D13UEVrY - GamePlatform https://youtu.be/YT_DTjbK3bw - Blit RESIZE abused ;-) https://youtu.be/KgFP00FgVPA - Vectorball Matthias PS Videos are so much more entertaining than photos, right?

Good stuff.  Yes, videos are better then still images.  Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

@Martin H. ccast1.zip - https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=18619&P=5#251759 I set resStep=4 here and inserted numbers into the graphic to see what the quality is like. I noticed that the back is mirrored ;-) https://youtu.be/L9PwrDNqu_Q Matthias |

Great job Martin H. - looks better than Pole Position on the Atari 8-bit computer. |

Homa, Your Blit Resized demo looks like your half-way to BallBlazer! |

Here is missing Petscii Robots Video by "Volhout and the Backsheds" I recorded that back then using a simple VGA-to-HDMI adapter connected to an HDMI grabber, and then captured it with OBS. There was a lot of lag while playing, so I often end up missing my targets  Unfortunately, the audio got very quiet along the way 'no comment |

That was exactly the idea behind it: the entire ground is generated from the two lines in the middle, and the speed would be high enough to display an additional “viewport” for a second player or NPC. The extra enhancements from vegipete really let the player glide. The rules in BallBlazer aren't overly complicated; they should be possible to replicate in Basic. 'no comment |

https://youtu.be/HQb_nPCfa1Y - GEMS'n'ROCKS Hi Martin, I’ve also captured your GEMS'n'ROCKS (on PicoMiteHDMI). When I have time  , I might do the same with all the animated graphics. The “PicoMiteVGA DEMO” with moving graphics is pretty cool, too. Matthias |
