Partly because there is no such color (hue & luminance of light, grayish turquoise) on the Atari; so, it variously gets interpreted as different shades of gray and turquoise, mixed along its path. The other thing is that the contrast of the individual rays is not quite enough for them to get defined well in the Atari's resolution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 normally just intensities of black with blue / torquois can get the job done, it has to be done faintly and then it looks bright in some odd way against the darkness. so mask each ray or group of rays just below limbs and adjust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you post a zip file of the Generator folder, perhaps? Shouldn't be ANY artifactual stripes, so would be good if we could look at the code for the screen kernel as well as the output.png rendition... (Stripes present in output.png as well as the xex rendition are due to limitations of the Atari hardware/rasta process, not bugs, and so are not artifacts in quite the same sense) Edited March 24 by drpeter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to try same options from command line to confirm? Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has the source code for the front end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
