Help with hardware and software graphics

Wow! you've allot going on, 1 regular looking screen and 6 screenettes! I hope you aren't redrawing the whole 7 when you update only one screenette(=tiny screen).

I suspect you have a large monitor you are doing this on.

My monitor is 24'' ... ¿redrawing the whole 7? eh... oh... glupbs... maybe this is one of the problems... 

That looks amazing! I can't wait to see it working.

Thanks !!!

The HARDWARE  screen is cleared every time you use DISPLAY, so you’ll need to repaste it each time you update. This can be an issue if you were sometimes only updating mini screens to save time. The SOFTWARE  page shouldn’t be cleared unless you do  it yourself, so guessing why that wouldn’t display is more difficult. Could be a DISPLAYORDER issue,maybe you used it multiple times and didn’t always include the SOFTWARE layer?  In general, you should set the DISPLAYORDER once and forget about it

The biggest question is this: I don't know how to use hardware and software screens. I would need a manual about it, because integrated help and wiki are not enough for me

Fascinating. Using both 'Constitution' and 'Galaxy' class starships in the same game... lol

Thank you for the image. Much appreciated.

ps: My cpc464 died a natural death some decades ago... I now use an emulator. I actually still have the user manual... You just have to love hardcopy for reference... lol

¿'Galaxy' starship? ¿Are you saying that or maybe 'Sovereign')  

It is not relevant, I only tried to show some starships in order to check how are they displayed on the screen

Thanks!
