John Harris<p>Just remembered that the <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NES</span></a> has a port of <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Qix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Qix</span></a>, and wondering how it's implemented. The NES doesn't have a bitmapped graphics mode, but QIX is an intrinsically bitmapped game.</p><p>Checking <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/NesCartDB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NesCartDB</span></a> (<a href="https://nescartdb.com/profile/view/1034/qix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nescartdb.com/profile/view/103</span><span class="invisible">4/qix</span></a>) reveals the cart has 16K of RAM onboard, which makes sense. I presume it fills a portion of the visible screen with unique tiles and then draws on the definition table to create a makeshift bitmap?</p>
