VTUI Library View File VTUI (Vera Text User Interface) library Can be used to create text user interfaces using VERA instead of relying on the KERNAL functions for writing to screen. The library is less than 1KB which means it can be loaded into Golden RAM at $400. As an alternative, include files are provided for Acme and CA65 assemblers. See https://github.com/JimmyDansbo/VTUIlib for documentation, examples and include files. Submitter JimmyDansbo Submitted 02/16/21 Category Dev Tools  

LORES DOUBLE PETSCII DEMO View File What is double PETSCII? What is PETSCII you may ask first. PETSCII is the extended commodore text character set. This character set has been designed in such a way that it would enable simple graphics on the screen. Which would make it easy for would be programmers on the system, to make card games and so on. However easy to use, it is not easy to create very nice graphics with it.... But... This has changed somewhat. If you search for PETSCII art, you see people are trying to get cooler and cooler graphics out of PETSCII. Double Petscii is using the Commander 16's native graphics modes to overlay two layers of PETSCII graphics. This demo is an experiment in how that may be used. Tech info: -It was made with the cc65, in C. -The PETSCII mode used is lores text mode, with two layers. (40x30 chars) -All colors are standard colors. -1 Color is used as a color to be sacrificed for non black transparency, so there are 15 colors to work with, not 16. -Pictures drawn in hyperpetscii petscii online drawing program. https://hyperpyxel.com/?p=229 Submitter CursorKeys Submitted 04/05/21 Category Demos  

Chonky Text in 6502 Assembly View File A little demo of rendering giant text in assembly. It takes the data from the Lower/Upper character set in ROM and renders it in a large, "LCD-style" font. You can use .asciiz in CC65 for letters, or use a zero-terminated array of bytes to reference the character codes, as below (thanks to https://www.commanderx16.com/forum/index.php?/profile/5-jimmydansbo/ for the character set reference).
