Yet another inane, useless "screen saver" from me!
There are a few routines in the source code that may give some inspiration
to anyone wanting to write some text-based graphic games for the QL.
However, this also demonstrates how hopeless it would be to try to make
anything but the simplest fast-moving game for an actual QL in SuperBASIC!
(Something like "Snake" should be ok, though..)
Works best on QPC2, but other platforms may be ok too. EXEC the _bas file,
or F10 it from QD, or LRUN it from a SBASIC daughter job. Alternatively,
EXEC the _obj file if youre happy with the default settings.
On a QL you may have to load the file into an SBASIC environment and alter
the lines 134 and 136 to
134 wsx% = 512
136 wsy% = 256
and then recompile. Alternatively, LRESPR one of my "compatibility toolkits",
eg Scr_bin (available from the Knoware Toolkit page) before EXECuting.
SMSQ/E has these commands built in.
The source code wont run in SuperBASIC without modification, but the
compiled code will work, if the mentioned toolkit is loaded.
