zoi: the screen is not turned off while loading

Rapture (11:49:22)
mirror, whoa ok

Rap: yeah that beam-racing is particularly popular in speccy demos also, as it's the only way to get more than 2 colours in 8x8 pixel cell

zoi (11:49:02)
isn't that why they turn off the screen while loading, because it takes all the cycles?

Rapture (11:48:59)
i understand A BIT.. haha get it , bit

zoi (11:48:55)
I thought the speccy used all CPU time to feed the rasterbeam?

Rapture (11:48:51)
i hope i dont have to discuss that when I'm doing muzak for da demo producers (as I understand nuthin, but music, hahaha)

zoi (11:48:16)
change what rows you flip it at to scroll it back and forward

zoi (11:48:04)
I like to do checkerboards. Pretty much you just have vertical lines, and then you flip the two backgroundcolors as the rasterbeam traverses the screen

zoi (11:47:34)
on the c64 we love to change things up on the fly. the VIC-chip can get its data and registers updated as the raster beam goes
