Double Message Scroller

DOUBLE SCROLLER


by Mark Turner (again)





Single scrollers are old hat, let's face it, but this has to be


Pitstop's first ever double scroller. It's a bit like a single


scroller, only twice as good! As well as scrolling a normal,


double-height message across the middle of the screen, it also


superimposes a massive, huge great one over the top of it that's eight


characters high and completely different contents-wise.





There's a full demo when you run the program to indicate its potential


and show you how to get your own messages scrolling across the screen.


Note that the addresses of the two messages need to be POKEd into


64365 and 64372, and the messages themselves then need to be POKEd in


at these addresses. All should be made clear if you examine lines 35


to 70 of the program. The simplest way to achieve all this is


obviously to delete Mark's messages from the program and replace them


with your own.
