Amiga Workbench highres 4colors

Post by desertfish »


I needed a test program for the graphics routines in Prog8 that now also work in highres 4 color screen mode.




I thought it would be fun to replicate a classic Amiga Workbench desktop screen, using just the graphics drawing commands.




Note that the text font is actually the built-in iso charset. It is fairly similar to the Amiga's topaz font, so I just went with it and didn't bother to replicate the font pixel-perfect.

Text is corrupted in the web emulator because it requires r41 to run properly.

 




Here is a screenshot of a real Amiga Workbench 3.1 in action:

added mouse pointer.




As this is built for r41 roms, text output is corrupted in the web emulator you'll need to run it on a real r41 emulator to work correctly.
