Today I learned about the Atari’s TIA screen objects. It’s kind of like the TIA chip has presets for sprites and there’s a limited number of settings to configure them. The most interesting screen object to me is the playfield. It’s a per-scanline 20 bit pattern which is either mirrored or repeated for the left and rights sides of the screen. I already have some ideas for how to use it. I want to make some things like A Slow Year by Ian Bogost.
