There are no Thens in Axe. Everything else is fine.

Is there any way to create, like, a four-screen drawing space and have the space to which the screen is mapped be freely roaming, like scrolling through a zoomed-in pic on a computer?

There is a way in asm. I think it would be possible, just somewhat slow (or maybe not), and kinda tricky.

In pure Axe it would be very difficult. The least of your problems would be copying a rectangular part of the image to the screen. A much larger obstacle would be that every Axe drawing and buffer command depends on using a 96x64 buffer, whereas it sounds like you would be using a 192x128 buffer.

Well, the idea here is that it would copy a 96x64 portion of it to a buffer, where it could then be used

The tricky thing tho is that it's not just as simple as copying a 94x64 portion of a buffer, because we have bit shifting to account for, and that makes things quite a bit more difficult, since every single byte of the buffer needs to be shifted a certain amount and overflow into other buffers and such.

And it would be really slow. But, couldn't you use the BufCpy bcall?

I'm trying to figure out what makes this so complicated. Could someone please elucidate?

Mmmm i don't think it would be *terribly* slow.  It would run at about the same speed as copying a 768 byte chunk of memory, and doing 4 (average) screenshifts.  The variable amount of screenshifts though would make the engine a bit unreliable in terms of speed though, it could run really fast on some locations and really slow on others

Remember that 8 bits are stored in a byte, so what if you wanted to display a 96x64 box starting at (4,4)? Then you'd have to shift each byte 4 bits left so you have a nice box to copy to the screen.

It took me a few reads to understand that, but thanks DT, it makes sense now.
Also, about the widely variable speed, Quigibo managed to get all the Pt- commands to always run at the same speed, right?

How can you change the content/entry/data of a AppVar with Axe?

Not to be mean, but have you read the documentation? It's the PDF file in the zip.

I have a question, what is the x256 mode and can someone give me an example?

I have no idea of how to use it and would like to learn, can I have a sample? Thanks
