OK this is what I want and I'm not at all sure how to do it. I'd like a checker- board surface that can be scrolled in any direction, including perspective. I've seen it done before, but after a couple of months I'm getting a bit stuck. The two sticking points are smoothness of animation and getting the perspective changes to look convincing when the view scrolls left/right. I want to write it in C just now, going over to assembler when I get it working. I suspect that some clever tricks with the copper may help, but I'm still pretty ignorant about copper programming, so if any of you out there could help or point me to someone/thing that can I'd be very 8-> #------------------------------------------------------------------------------# # If you're of the opinion that if anything CAN go wrong it WILL go wrong, you # # may think you're paranoid.
