CBM Key Character Arrangement
Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2024 1:48 am
When I look at the character ROM glyphs, I can see easy correlation between the letters and the shift key symbols associated with them:
The difference between A and the spade is 97 - 65 = 32, the difference between S and the heart is 32
The CBM key characters don't seem to follow the same simple rules. Below the "rule of 32" doesn't apply - the A & S CBM modified keys are -2 apart:
What algorithm is used to pull out the CBM character glyphs from the character ROM?
(Sorry my img links don't seem to be appearing so I've copied the links as well)
