Curtains


by John Metcalf


from Your Sinclair #92 (Aug.1993)








Lawks a lordy, our John certainly gets around. His second


morsel this month is of slightly more use than the C-Curve,


although it doesn't look as nice. It's a screen clearing


routine, in case you were a mite bored with the ordinary


Speccy CLS (or, indeed, last month's Alternative CLS prog).





John's routine adds a convenient new option in just, er ...


38 bytes. As the name suggests, this 'un involves a curtains


effect, with the blanking beginning at each side of the


screen, and working its way into the centre at the rate of


one pixel column every 1/50 second. Of course, you don't get


the glimpse of Mrs Sweet from number 17, but that's probably


just as well.
