Yup it is next on my list but it may be a while as I have just had the stork visit with a bundle and many sleepless nights. But it will be the next one I promise
You have a load of dots in in a pattern (blue dots here). Then you use the pattern to create blocks (x5 to match the 5 pixels high font). Store the blocks and their positions for easy access then run the scroller and check for pixels and if you get a hit, put that block on screen. Check here
by dots I meant x&y points :P.
point 0 to point 1 to point to point 7 to point 6. = 1 block then point 1 to point 2 to point 8 to point 7. = second block ect.. probably blitter filled?? I never looked into how it printed the blocks. You end up with this https://www.flashtro.com/html5/pdxc/patt1.png and a separate table for the x & y positions.
The greatest Amiga crack intro of all time, basically because of MMM’s amazing scroller. I love everything about it, Madonna Freak/Crionics sausage PDX logo too 🙂
No tune anymore on my side (latest FF on W11) 🙁

As the two others you updated, thanks a lot again, this crazy scroller deserves it! 😛
[…] Celica GT RAlly de Paradox (scroller extraordinaire !) […]
Ossom scroller! 🙂
What a shit scroller.
Great paradox stuff! The chip rulez 🙂 @m9: What you think about a conversion of the classic DCS cracktro… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it1rBXgyqq4 ? 🙂

Congratulations then!
Thanks! I will have her up and coding in no time at all 😉
Just remember that all good starts from Z80..
Congrats!!
Great little intro. Like everyone has mentioned the scroller is absolutely amazing! Zik is cool too.
That scroller is mindblowing.
argh.. so how this was originally done? 😉

Heh.. advanced dot scroller. And on amiga how did it fill the blocks?

Ye, the dot stuff is “obvious” now. That would quite a few line draws and one big blitter fill. Possible.. should check the original code 😀
Never saw this awesome scroll effect. Nice to get the explanation of the trick.
Pretty nice – clever scroller.
Mr. Mega Mind.. The Dexion legends. This is great. I never figured out how the scroller was made… of if i did, the math involved was beyond me 🙂
The scroller is pure awesomeness!

The scroller makes the show, music is decent too. Logo is not my cup of tea.
