Remember Peter Featherstone's Spheriscreen type-in published in issue 27? If you decided to enter the program, you would have discovered that you could distort standard screens in many wonderful ways. The limiting factor being speed; you could wait anything up to 20 minutes for a screen to be completely modified Gorilla, often seen swinging from ship masts in Hull, has sent in a routine that will bend the screen in real time. Gorilla's program has to be seen to be believed. The distortions take place unbelievably quickly. But unlike Peter's routine. Wavy accesses the screen handling chip. It works by fooling the chip into displaying the screen at different times when writing the frame. The listing supplies three bar or RSX commands:
Lines 90 to 150 demonstrate the best way of using the bar commands. To distort one of your screens simply add an extra line : 95 MODE 0:INK 1,6:INK 6,7:LOAD"filenane",&C000
