 |  Re: The Hobbit_disc version
Hi Luca,
I know this Tape version very well, that was one of the first games I received from Pigmy when we were in contact.
My concern is that you just cannot integrate so many pictures into the memory in bitmap.
MAYBE if we do a raster trick and use different charset and on the top and bottom area, and you set for each picture a separated charset with own colormap, then you may press 14 pictures into 30KB, and still those pictures are 20x8 character size (160*96), so the pictures would become even smaller, despite they would be more colorful (not to mention the extra limit of multicolor characters).
I think in TAP version you cannot do what I want. That's why I was happy to see a disc version.
If it would be a plus/4 version already, the task could be completed by me in a few months. (could be already done). But it would be easier for me to convert the C64 disc version, than to rewrite the plus/4 drawing routines to a loading routines.
Pls correct me if I am wrong.
