06.12.2024 - A C64 Sprite Multiplexer - in BASIC!? - video from '8-Bit Show And Tell'
The Commodore 64's VIC-II video chip allows sprite multiplexing: dynamically re-using the sprites (or MOBs: Movable Object Blocks) to display more than the natural limit of 8. Normally sprite multiplexing requires the use of fast machine language code, but in 2008 programmer S.E.S. of Genesis Project managed the feat with a BASIC program: no assembly code required. But it's no ordinary use of BASIC either, and might actually be more complicated than the machine code version. Today we'll take a deep look at how this BASIC sprite demo works.
