The Southsider - 16 Char Text

[RSS Bot]

I have written another text kernel which displays 16 characters. This may seem pointless, given my earlier 24-char and 28-char kernels, but it has several nice features:

1. Uses less ZP memory (46 bytes total).
   
2. Shows more lines on screen (14).
   
3. Text width is a power of 2 (for easy calculations).
   
4. Kernel has loads of free cycles (around 40 per scanline), e.g. could have a PF image underneath.

The main reason for writing this kernel is to allow the Juno First score table to be displayed nicely on a single line, rather than split across lines. I'm planning to integrate this, together with SaveKey support, in the next release.
