Re: Apple II weather display
Thanks for the interest!
keep in mind I was just having fun with my apple and yea there are a
billion ways to do it better.
yes beagle compiler is used along with a memory driver and fast hplot.
I originally went with the compiler because I thought I was going to
do most of the XPM image decoding on the apple, though after seeing
transfer times while trying to not loose any characters in the buffer,
in basic, it would not be practical in this implementation.
I wanted to use shape tables, I spent a while messing with hi writer
and font mechanic and I could not get either to play nice with beagle
compiler, though this was still back when I was trying to shovel as
much work as possible to the Apple and the compiler was required IMO
