The VCS's sprites are called movable objects in the programming manual, further identified as two players, two missiles, and one ball. [16] These each consist of a single row of pixels that are displayed on a scan line. To produce a two-dimensional shape, the sprite's single-row bitmap is altered by software from one scan line to the next.
Code page 437 (CCSID 437) is the character set of the original IBM PC (personal computer). [2] It is also known as CP437, OEM-US, OEM 437, [3] PC-8, [4] or MS-DOS Latin US. [5] The set includes all printable ASCII characters as well as some accented letters (), Greek letters, icons, and line-drawing symbols.
Windows code pages are sets of characters or code pages (known as character encodings in other operating systems) used in Microsoft Windows from the 1980s and 1990s. Windows code pages were gradually superseded when Unicode was implemented in Windows, [citation needed] although they are still supported both within Windows and other platforms, and still apply when Alt code shortcuts are used.
In this example a background image, a sprite, and a 1-bit mask are used. As the mask is 1-bit, there is no possibility for partial transparency via alpha blending . A loop that examines each bit in the mask and copies the pixel from the sprite only if the mask is set will be much slower than hardware that can apply exactly the same operation to ...
Under Windows, the Alt key is pressed and held down while a decimal character code is entered on the numeric keypad; the Alt key is then released and the character appears. The numerical code corresponds to the character’s code point in the Windows 1252 code page , with a leading zero; for example, an en dash (–) is entered using Alt + 0150 .
This did not work for characters not in the Windows Code Page (such as box-drawing characters). The new Alt+0### combination (which prefixes a zero to each Alt code), produces characters from the newer "Windows code pages." [a] For example, Alt+ 0 1 6 3 yields the character £ (symbol for the pound sterling) which is at 163 in CP1252. [2] [b]
8-Bit Theater is a sprite comic, meaning the art is mainly taken from pre-existing video game assets, created by Brian Clevinger.It was originally published from 2001 to 2010 and consists of 1,225 pages.
Sequences of duplicate code are sometimes known as code clones or just clones, the automated process of finding duplications in source code is called clone detection. Two code sequences may be duplicates of each other without being character-for-character identical, for example by being character-for-character identical only when white space ...
