Curtdawg figured out a nice way to make scrolling mountains like in the game Scramble. A lot of bios calls are used which saves a lot of programming space. The variations can be set as data to control the various peaks and valleys, example code below. Could be used as a graphics engine for various types of games, none that has been made yet. Add a ship or helicopter and a few enemies and it's a game!

Scrolling mountains in action.

Curtdawg figured out a nice way to make scrolling mountains like in the game Scramble. A lot of bios calls are used which saves a lot of programming space. The variations can be set as data to control the various peaks and valleys, example code below. Could be used as a graphics engine for various types of games, none that has been made yet. Add a ship or helicopter and a few enemies and it's a game!
