QL Screen Scrolling

[Derek_Stewart]

Hi,

After scanning the QDOS Companion, I was reminded of the QDOS Traps (system calls) to PAN and SCROLL the screen or screen channel, which has S*BASIC keywords.

This feature is not present in most computers, so the programmer has to write a horizontal scrolling rountine.

I find this strange as the QL was not suposed to be a gaming computer, but there are assembler and basic rountines available to potentially programme platform games.

Does anyone use the these features?
