Samples:

The scroll module handles multidirectional scrolling. For the moment, it works with tile-based modes. On MSX2, it also supports pixel-per-pixel scrolling via screen adjustment registers, and masks to hide this offset.

Usage

To use this module, include "scroll.h" in your source code, and add "scroll" to the modules list (LibModules) in your project's configuration file (project_config.js).


Samples

See module use cases in the sample programs:
