 +The routine differs from [[magazines:chacking7#tech-tech_-_more_resolution_to_vertical_shift]|this article]] in that it uses videoram banks to create the tech-tech, not character sets. One could combine these two techniques by cleverly interleaving character sets and videoram to allow for a wider sinus, perhaps even bank switching with $dd00 for even more movement. I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader ;)

 I wrote this code as part of an attempt to regain my old VIC-trickery skills, it's been about 25 years since I did a tech-tech. As such, the code may not be up to today's standards. I just published it here since there was no article on tech-tech's using $d011/FLI. I wrote this code as part of an attempt to regain my old VIC-trickery skills, it's been about 25 years since I did a tech-tech.

-Here's the actual source code, in 64tass syntax. The FLI routine needs to be unrolled, the sinus calculation can all be done in a loop, but that eats cycles, so I also wrote some unrolled code for the $d016/$d018 values updating:       +Here's the actual source code, in 64tass syntax.

 +Before assembling, one should probably comment out the references to the music, I would be surprised to see everyone having their HVSC at "/home/compyx/c64/HSVC" ;)
