Short: AmosAGA V0.09 - AGA Screens for Amos Author: uwdesign@lin.cbl.com.au (Kevin Picone) Uploader: uwdesign&lin cbl com au (Kevin Picone) Type: dev/amos Replaces: AmosAGA.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos *=----------------------------------------------------------------------=* >> Amos AGA V0.09 << Custom AGA screens for AMOS & AMOSPRO Developed By Kevin Picone © Copyright 1996 Kevin Picone of Underware Design All Rights Reserved. *=----------------------------------------------------------------------=* Last Updated: 8-Oct-1997 *=----------------------------------------------------------------------=* There's little doubt that the Amos programming community (like it or lump it) suffers from the languages lack of internal support for the AGA chipset. Although, today this can be over come via the use of a variety of 'so called' intuition extensions, some programmers would just rather a quick and really messy solution, so here it is... ;) The included source, lets Amos programmers create either 256 colour HIRES (640x*256y) or LOWRES (320x*256y) screens. It does this via directly programming the Amiga's own copper chip. Moreover, this source is provided purely as an 'example' on how to set up a custom AGA screen mode through Amos, meaning that if your planning upon using this, you'll need to do a little work first... :) Anyway, I hope you find this source useful. *=----------------------------------------------------------------------=* New Features to V0.09 ===================== * Better View Control (Screen size, Screen offsets) * Hardware Sprites * Supports SET/GET palette * Supports SET/GET Colour & Includes some simple drawing Proc's *=----------------------------------------------------------------------=* T H E E N D *=----------------------------------------------------------------------=*
