In game text for 2/3 screensize #142

Closed 0xABADCAFE closed 4 months ago

0xABADCAFE commented 4 months ago

In game messages are not rendered in 2/3 screen size.

RTG mode

Should consider using the blank space below the main view for the text area
- Text would need to be rendered to both front and back buffer (maybe use blitz to copy from one to the other)
- Use blitter to clear the text area
- Render directly to locked bitmap that the view is copied to
- Text only needs to be plotted when the message buffer updates.

AGA mode

Planar plotter
Consider restricting text colour to an index requiring a single bitplane.

Issue resolved - messages implemented for 2/3 display in RTG and AGA.
