User guide
Brief technical detail about each demo:
dycp.gb - A unique scroller not made up of sprites, except for the MANGO logo. It uses a map of 20 character columns and has a sinus table controlling the scroll wave. The scroll has a depth range of 0 to about 60 pixels, with a maximum of 80 pixels on the map.
dxcp.gb - An upward scroller with varying X positions on the scroll. It makes use of raster interrupts and register $FF43 on each line for character column scroll.
flex.gb - Makes use of magic interrupts and a simple sinus algorithm to create a flex effect. The window is used to display bouncing credits.
toons.gb - Displays pictures with on-line credits.
cat.gb - Animated cat made up of sprites (3x2) with a simple background scroll. Joy pad routines are used to interact and control the cat's movement.
muzak.gb - A sound demo made with a custom music keyboard editor. The editor produced the core music data that works with the music routines written by Matt Fielding.
