WISHLIST: Resizable Screen #38

Open OzHawk opened 4 years ago

OzHawk commented 4 years ago

The Vic20 had this great option in the VIC display processor where you could resize the number of characters on the display (x and/or y). The only problem with it is that the X and Y sizes used by the Kernel were hardcoded, so that it would no longer character wrap at the correct place on the line.

Modify the Kernal to allow dynamic resizing of the screen size such that the kernel correctly wraps and scrolls and the correct places.

This would also make it easier to change the character size, if desired, to a more common 8x8 characters. (This would probably require a rebuild of the kernel.)
