OK this is what I want and I'm not at all sure how to do it. I'd like a checker-
board surface that can be scrolled in any direction, including perspective. I've
seen it done before, but after a couple of months I'm getting a bit stuck. The
two sticking points are smoothness of animation and getting the perspective
changes to look convincing when the view scrolls left/right. I want to write it
in C just now, going over to assembler when I get it working. I suspect that
some clever tricks with the copper may help, but I'm still pretty ignorant
about copper programming, so if any of you out there could help or point me
to someone/thing that can I'd be very 8->
