> Are you doing some kind of compression already?
The original matrix-based compression as used in the dancing baby. A matrix
of 6 x 6 sprites, each being 8 x 16 pixels. Each frame is 3 of these (RGB)
and there are 10 frames total in the animation. I lifted it off some random
website, somewhere.
> And why do you still use the flickering algorithm here?
Because I still haven't figured how to optimise the draw to use the
colour-interlace yet. :) I have about 8 cycles/line free, give or take....
I know you did a version which did it - but I haven't got my hands on one
yet. I will get there.... and then I'll probably need to change the utility
to generate pre-interlaced frame data, too. I'm very keen to do it - I'm
just not there yet. Since you've already shown it can be done, I've got
that on the backburner. Care to share your code?
Cheers
A
PS: I've been playing with all sorts of frames. Anyone with a good
animation to share, send me! I'm looking for cartoon-style character - and
about 20 frames of animation.
