Short: Fast 8-bit Chunky TrueColor on AGA
Author: bevilacq@cli.di.unipi.it (Simone Bevilacqua)
Uploader: bevilacq@cli.di.unipi.it (Simone Bevilacqua)
Type: dev/misc
Requires: AGA, 020+ CPU, KS 2.04+
The Tricky Color System (TCS) is a new, fantastic, software-only, video
system which provides some new cool video modes on normal AGA Amigas by
exploiting some basic concepts of the composition of colors.
It comes in the shape of a shared library, but, if you want, you can
write you own routines thanks to the detailed documentation which fully
describes the system's internals.
Library Features list:
- multiple RGB-like color definitions, named "RGBx"
- TrueColor-like pixels, i.e. the value of a pixel is its own RGBx value,
not an index to a color lookup table
- chunky access, i.e. a pixel value is read/written with an access to a
single memory location
- 2 horizontal resolutions: HalfRes, FullRes (280 ns, 140 ns pixels)
- all the display sizes allowable by the Amiga hardware
- screens of any size (limited only by the available memory)
- 256 independently selectable colors per screen
- up to 256 unique colors per screen
- variable display brightness
- Cross Playfield mode (a kind of Dual Playfield mode without a trasparent
color and with variable front playfield opacity)
- up to 337 unique indipendent colors in Dual Cross Playfield mode
(Cross Playfield mode with selectable transparent color)
- scrollable screens with horizontal increments of 35 ns
- double and triple buffered screens
- many graphic primitives + several other special graphic functions
- Graphic Contexts -based displays
- functions for pictures files handling
- functions for palette/color control
& more!
