Super Graphics 2.0?
Posted: Tue Dec 13, 2016 1:24 pm
Hi,
Inside a D64 disk image with random PET software, I found something called "Super Graphics 2.0" for the VIC-20. There was a PET program called "Super Graphics" but I don't know if they are related. I ran it in VICE - load,8,1 then sys to $3000 and I get the banner displaying Super Graphics 2.0 BASIC 2.0 PLUS" then xxx bytes free.
In the binary I found the following commands:
TEXT:GRAPHIC:BYTES:PAUSE:SOUND:SHUTUP:SET:RESET:RVS:FILL:UNFILL:LOCATE@:JOYSTICK:PADDLE:±$:KILL:VDISPLAY:DISPLAY@:LOCK:SPACE:COLOUR:DRAW:PLOT:EXIT:CLS
It appears to be "graphics" based on the PETSCII character set where you can control the 4 "pixels" of each character. I have been able to get a few commands to work but some I just get syntax error. Anyway, is anyone familiar with this software, and/or have a manual? Googling was not much help.
