It really gets me, how y'all are trying to do stuff like this in Euphoria. This
(f**king with the hardware, "sprite"-handlers, etc) is definately the kind of
thing that should be done in assembly, no matter what other language yr using
for the other stuff! (I feel pretty stupid, because I don't know any Intel asm,
but...)

On the other hand, if nobody here knows any asm, I guess it has to be done
somehow...

I don't know, maybe I'm the only one who thinks the ultra-low-res hack was
cool.. (amiga demo-method, uses coprocessor to change bgcol for every pixel,
thus inventing new gfx-'quasi'-mode)
