WAR11 - Galaxy Game #1389

@qu1j0t3 and @philbudne, this is yet another vector display that could be built in hardware and/or simulated in software. This version has the hardware registers stubbed out. But the original listing from Google Code has them. |
@qu1j0t3 Totally off topic here, but a wish list for displays:
|
The Galaxy Game hardware has two registers for X and Y. I'm guessing they control the position of the beam quite directly. Maybe this could be ported to the TK display by using a short display list that first resets X and Y, and then two instructions to move X and Y. The program would modify the instructions in place to alter the beam position. |

^^ This is my first priority. I'm going to adapt my existing vector
plans to allow for sending an Imlac display list to analog X/Y (via
USB), for viewing with a scope, Tek 60x family X/Y, or Tek 1720 (since
these are still quite common as surplus).
The plan is for this to work in tandem with Josh Dersch's existing Imlac
emulator, which decodes the display instructions and can send them to
the hardware in unrolled format. Although direct emulation of the
display processor in peripheral USB hardware is also a future possibility.
I know Trammell Hudson has designed a "vector graphics card" but this is
an independent project, I haven't even looked at his design. Trying to
come up with my own solutions.
After Imlac I'm certainly interested in looking at some of the others on
Lars' list.
