hello Tobias
thanks for you work
looks good on the Mist/mister (Minerva.rom,896 kb)
with -c -t  but some lines are to long

can you change the cursor before loading graphics
so you get a hint what's going on

Greeting from Switzerland

In case you missed it:

The Magnetic Scrolls Adventurs are now available for _all_ QL platforms - See 
the QL Forum at https://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3=3069 


The QL has received special graphics routines incorporating Markus's proposal 
(interlacing both screen pages).

Hi,

good news. I remember the Pawn being pretty difficult!

Wolfgang




just in case not everyone is on the QL forum, there is an exciting new
software development underway. "The Pawn"  and other "Magnetic Scroll"
games are back. And this time not just text but with graphics! The first
supported machine is the Q68, executables are already downloadable, on
page 3:

https://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3=3033

Work for other platforms, even the BBQL, is ongoing. Definitely worth a

Markus,

Well, /technically/ yes (even if it would be quite a bit of work to make this 
proof-of-concept into a piece of distributable software for anyone, especially 
given the strong QL hardware speed dependency of dithvide).

It would, however, imply conversion and very probably also distribution of the 
converted original game/graphics files.

Due to the unclear legal situation of the original games, I have decided not to 
distribute them or any modified version thereof. They are freely downloadable 
from the internet, however, (which is apparently tolerated by the owners - link 
and statement provided). That means the software needs to make do with these 
unmodified pictures.
