[comp.sys.mac] mac video - drawing into ScreenBits fast?

alen@ttidca.UUCP (Alen Shapiro) (11/13/86)

I am attempting to draw onto the mac screen in real time using my own
very fast 3 line 68000 code memory-to-memorymap copy function. There
seems no way to tweek this code so that I can redraw full screen images
at full 60 Hz refresh rate. Since I have all the images I want to display
"in core" is there a way to retarget the video display mechanism to read from
other areas of memory (I have more than 2 images so the alternate screen
buffer (which may go away in future) does not seem to be a help). I currently
achieve better than 30 frames per second - but really need 60.

    About drawing extremely fast, just a guess, probably a miserable idea but..

Anyone every try just changing the value of screenbase I think it's $824 if i'm
not mistaken, and setit to the current bitmap image that you want? I don't know
what would happen.
