Scrolling Tricks
Description
This is a project to rework the Aminet Scrolling Tricks project by Georg Steger into a version that has higher internal reuse, is smaller and compiles with VBCC. The purpose is mainly to better understand the algorithms. By separating the common functionality such as data loading and argument parsing the main source file can mainly focus on screen setup and scrolling.
System Requirements
This software requires V39 libraries and therefore only runs on the 3.x releases or greater of AmigaOS. The reason is that the original source relies on the support for interleaved bitmaps in graphics.library, which was not available in earlier versions.
I originally wanted to backport this to 1.x, but that would defeat the purpose as a pure study project.
Building
This project was built and tested on a cross-compiling system using VBCC on Linux. Make sure your NDK_INC path is set to the directory that includes the NDK include files for C.
The programs should all be built with
make
Running
I used FS-UAE, but it should run on any classic 68k AmigaOS system starting from version 3.0.
