Something like this:

I think it is supposed to be something like peaceful (balance, etc), so the fire... hum... But grphmastur is the coder, so he knows :P

icwutudidthar, builder XD
it looks very nice, but the bottom half of the screen being static with so much noise up above is a little odd...
i can think of two things that may help: swapping the top and bottom halves (flipping the PEC section to hang from the top of the screen instead of sticking up from the bottom), or maybe make black "flames" drip from the top of the screen instead of white moving up(although the lettering would have to be black, then, which may not work that well).

I disagree, though, I like it that only one part is flaming :P

I like it flaming, and I think the bottom is kinda stagnant.  How about outlining the letters in black, making the fire (And I hope you'll show me how to code that in asm) go from the bottom up.  Or do something else for the bottom.  The two basic things I see now are:
1) The TAO needs to be readable well enough.  It may be more readable on calc, who knows. ;-)
2) I don't like the beast being there after all, I think that'll be more of a spoiler anyway, so let's not do that.

Hah alright, lemme work on something new.  As for the fire, the code is actually very simple.  I'll give the Axe source right here:

Basically it takes each byte in the upper portion of the screen, OR's a bit onto it, AND's the Title from it, and then puts it back one row up :)

Oh, that shouldn't be too hard to do.  I'm looking forward to what you try next.

Thanks qwerty.  Okay, so I understand your method from the axe source code, but is there any way to do it using the SafeCopy routine found here.  I'm using this in an app, and so the image it's displaying is only located inside the app, and is therefore not editable, and I don't have two buffers.  Any ideas?  I also, removed the little kyuubi because I didn't fully like it, and I tested it in the app.  Here is the result:


Add flames, and that would be very good.  Maybe do something with unleashed. I like the font for it, btw.

What do you mean with the safecopy routine?  Axe uses Safecopy, and I use only a single buffer without modifying the original picture data

NOTE: That 3f60 at the start is for Bitmap( in axe, if you dont use that, delete it!

Edit2: added a program with the bitmap( routine just compile and run :)

Sure, that's okay.  I'll just write a program to convert it.  Although that doesn't look like a full-screen.  That's only 349 characters.

Can you help me do the asm version, then?
