Cool Bun Demo
Built for The Obligatory Amiga Blitter Video.
Running
main
: Main demo32x50
,33x50
,left_side
,right_side
: Rendering Cool Bun in various locations on screen.any_position
: Cool Bun flies around like a DVD player pause screen.
This will get 50 fps on an 020, and 25 or lower on an 68EC020 and below.
Building
Vamos
You'll want Vamos and SAS/C on Vamos's path:
# main
ruby ./image_converter.rb && touch images.s && vamos -- smake
# any others
vamos -- smake <other>
Performance
The best way I can think of to make this way faster is for a script in Ruby or Python to calculate every blitter register for every frame of data for bun renders and clears, store that in a list of words, and rip through those lists in Assembler, shotgunning the values directly into the registers without the C code needing to track bun positions and bun clears. That's a project for another day.
