To whom may interest.

The text is encoded in the section "text:"

Note:
Chars from A to Z are mapped twice, in the odd numbers from 0 to 51 and in the even numbers in the same range.
To make the effect work, each text line of the the message has to be repeated in two adjacent lines,
first encoded in the even chars, than in the odd chars.
Look at the sample line to have a clearer view of how it works.

maybe with msxkun (turbobasic) it could be bearable

Argh! I hadn't seen this post before, I thought I had a new cool invention with my smooth upscroller that is going to be featured in my forthcoming MSX demo! Tongue

Our implementations differs quite a bit though, but the idea with using every second line is the same.

Do not worry. Reinventing the wheel is quite common on msx.
It happens to me very often...

wait this is for the msx1.

i'm looking for basic things using vdp(24) command.
msx1 is not my target.

Just pace the text on the page and use vdp(24).....
no other things to do

Artrag, in how far is this approach different from e.g. what Maze of Galious intro does? It's basically the same technique right?
