I think that demo with the eagle is Chaos. See this entry in our knowledge base, the Plus/4 Encyclopedia: Sideborder.
I'll add my 2 cents to the above, but keep in mind that I could be completely wrong. Now, after that delightful disclaimer: in regards to displaying graphic information (rather than just the background color), it's possible to do that on the entire picture. While I played around with extending the sideborder, I noticed that the "border" is sometimes taken from the character on $2FF8 (or $3FF8?). So, if I put an 4x8 (since it's multicolor) piece of graphic there, it will be displayed everywhere, where normally the border would appear. Sure, it's the same character all over, so it's kind of useless, except to use it once to show it off, but possible. So it's 384 x whatever-number-of-lines we have, for area. The entire picture basically. For increasing the resultion, the above covers it pretty well (gotta admit my jaw dropped). |
