Plus/4 Encyclopedia First Back Next Last DYCP Category Glossary/Demos Topic A DYCP is an somewhat common effect used in demos. It stands for Different Y Character Position. It's basically a line of text where each character is displayed in a different Y position, that is, a little bit above or below the previous ones. (Usually sinus tables are used.) This effect was probably first created in a character matrix, using a 32x8 area. When a DYCP uses the whole screen, we call it MegaDYCP. Usually DYCP use single characters. However, there are a few that use larger letters. Amiga Mania by EDC for example contains a rare 4x4 DYCP. Example: 5 MegaDYCPs by Ceekay.
