[stella] Re: Qb/Demo background animation (very rudimentary)

["Andrew Davie" <adavie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Attached, a better binary, showing how BG is independant of animating
objects.  This is clearer, too, how I'm thinking of implementing the 2D form
of Qb.  Not much RAM left, but heaps of processing time.
I welcome comments, but please be constructive!
Cheers
