I'm kicking around the idea of doing some chipset-specific effects but then putting them in shared libraries as AROS 68k extensions and coming out with RTG equivalents for cross compatibility using brute-force techniques. I don't have the manpower to accomplish all of my goals though. Would you mind helping me out?
Here are some of my project goals:
sprites.library: A library that will stack sprites horizontally and vertically to make bigger sprites. Also planned is interlace support for the sprite hardware via custom Copper-list generation.
tiles.library: A library that implements the tile-scrolling effect in such a way that it will integrate with the OS using custom viewport generation. This is based on the algorithm of ScrollingTrick on Aminet.
copperfx.library: A library that will replace the MrgCop subroutine in graphics.library with something more robust. Among the effects needed are changing bitplanes while the screen display is using them. There will need to be a different version of this library for each chipset speed as a result of timing differences. It will supply needed support for the first two libraries.
