Hi,
I would like to be able to create graphics routines that write
directly to screen memory. I first tried it in GFA Basic using the
following:
long{ xbios(2)+offset}=&h12345678
I have been able to get every pixel to go on but I don't know how to
control the color used. Does anyone know what has to be done to set
the color of a pixel by writing to screen memory. I'd like to be able
to do this in either C or GFA Basic.
The GFA book (or maybe it was the Mark Williams C book) says that it
is possible to write to physical screen memory or logical screen memory.
Can anyone recommend books for the Atari ST dealing with:
Assembly Language
Internals
VDI / AES / TOS
Thanks in advance.
John
