Tornado 2000 is an 8bit de-make of Tempest 2000 for the 64 bit Atari Jaguar. The games uses a custom two bit per pixel ramTile based video mode enhanced with SD card streaming. The mode was developed specifically for this game. Features of the video mode that enable the fast paced action arenn- 256 pixels (and 32 tiles wide) to speed up mathsnn- Fixed RAM locations (on boundaries) for VRAM and tileRAMnn- Interrupt ended pixel output routinesnn- Pixel output colour decisions made in a giant ASM "Case" statementnn- Simplified mathematical approximations for jump vectors in the above "Case" statementnn- Extended front and back porch that gives time for the CPU to clear the screen during video rendernn- Background "web" streamed from SD card behind the foreground coloursnn- Hand crafted ASM code for Bresenham line draw codenn- Mild amount of insanity on the part of the coder :)
