Swap swaps a hidden sprite for a showing one. It is not a two way thing

Quote The RP2040 VGA version works great. It has been running in the test for 1 hour, without problems, and I played 1 level of petrobot using the WII classic controller.
It tested several programs including logic analyzer and several larger games, chess, and all work with this version.

This version will be the release. The only change will be to force an option reset when loading the first time

Quote Of course this is really small, since the display is only 128x64 but for my application it is enough to edit things on the go

It never occurred that anyone would use a 128 pixel display as a console

Various people have reported getting into a mess try to edit when there are very few characters on a line but I'll perhaps relax this now we have continuation characters

It is really possible with font 8 and is enough for editing on the go. The main reason is that there is not a single display out there, which can be read in direct sunlight, which is a must for my application. With those displays (yellow/green version) reading in direct sunlight is no problem.

When it does finally come out of RC I don't suppose you can be persuaded to find another hobby for 6 months whilst we poor users write some software to use all the latest and greatest without the sands shifting any further ;-)

Best wishes,

There is one bit of functionality to go in after this release which is the text based graphics support. It is pretty much completely stand-alone though.

Peter,

Maybe you missed my message a bit back on page 39 at the top?
I have only been able to test LIST PINS on an HDMI screen because I have not been able to test VGA yet. Tera Term works fine.
Thanks.

Greetings,

Jan.

I think that's one we can live with as-is
