MAXIGRAFIK: 208 x 256 true, high-resolution graphics!
Posted: Fri Aug 27, 2010 5:46 pm
Hi, all!
tokra and I present MAXIGRAFIK, a new BASIC extension which provides true 208x256 pixel high-resolution graphics on a PAL VIC-20 (download, at least +24K RAM required):
MAXIGRAFIK adds 8 new commands and 2 functions to the BASIC interpreter:
New commands: CLEAR, SHOW, DRAW, CIRCLE, COLOR, MULTI, GSAVE, GLOAD;
New functions: POINT(), ADR().
The downloadable *.d64 (see top of post) contains the extension itself, instructions (run the file 'READ ME FIRST!' for these), lots of example programs, and a slide show (with the picture above being one of these).
The extension requires at least +24K RAM, but can make use of additional memory (3K expander or 8K in BLK5), which is then made available for bigger BASIC programs. That is controlled with the MAXICONFIG program contained on disc.
...
MAXIGRAFIK is the result of roughly two months intense collaboration, combining tokra's new developed graphic modes with MINIGRAFIK.
We both hope this new extension will be put to good use by the VIC-20 community.
Cheers,
Michael
