I'd bet that there were a few who have tried to achieve 'real-time'
performance animation on the Amiga before this (me, for instance) 🙂 …
but have always run up against the same old roadblocks…. amount of change
and image size vs. S->P->E–>E—>D—->.
That is why most people use the lores screens for anims; the same changes
per frame take up less room than the same thing in hires, hence the
speed/size improves. Fast hires animation is possible, but it's not easy.
nd HAM-E is deceiving, since *you* are thinking 320 horizontal, but the
amiga is thinking 640 horizontal. Just not possible to have a lores HAM-E
animation, I'm afraid. Between the hires screen of HAM-E, the more colors,
and how it encodes those colors you've gotta a processing nightmare for the
machine.
Best of luck with your anim. Upload?
