Re: [stella] Changing the color of a playfield register

["Andrew Davie" <adavie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The only way I know this could be achieved is by multiplexing in time the playfield bits used, and changing the colours for each time unit.  THis is exactly what I was playing around in the PUSH demo oh-so-long ago.  It worked, but nobody liked it.

Source code is in the list archives.

Cheers

Subject: [stella] Changing the color of a playfield register

Has anyone done or is it possible to change the color of a playfield register?  For example I would want D7 and D6 of PF1 to be red and D5 and D4 of PF1 to be yellow.  Would this be a difficult kernal?  Could someone (if they have done it before) send an example of this being done?  I would greatly appreciate this.
