Curtains

by John Metcalf

from Your Sinclair #92 (Aug.1993)





Lawks a lordy, our John certainly gets around. His second

morsel this month is of slightly more use than the C-Curve,

although it doesn't look as nice. It's a screen clearing

routine, in case you were a mite bored with the ordinary

Speccy CLS (or, indeed, last month's Alternative CLS prog).



John's routine adds a convenient new option in just, er ...

38 bytes. As the name suggests, this 'un involves a curtains

effect, with the blanking beginning at each side of the

screen, and working its way into the centre at the rate of

one pixel column every 1/50 second. Of course, you don't get

the glimpse of Mrs Sweet from number 17, but that's probably

just as well.
