WIZZLE by Paul Dias Okay, gimmick fans, this is your lucky day. You might have thought that new ways of plopping a picture from memory onto the screen were running pretty thin on the ground these days, but Paul Dias has, against all probability, come up with another one. And it's got to be one of the weirdest yet. It sort of "pours" the picture onto the screen, giving the sort of enthralling effect that you'd be able to sit and watch for hours if it didn't keep making you need the loo. To use it you'll need to have a screen lying around on a tape somewhere, but I'm sure you've got piles of those. As the machine code is all built into the Basic program, all you've got to do is type it in and take it from there. Upon running the thing the machine code will be installed and you'll be given instructions on how to get the routine working. The trick is to load your picture from tape into memory somewhere (say, 40000) and then write a couple of lines of Basic as instructed. These could be incorporated into a larger program of course. There are various ways of making the screen appear, and these can be selected by varying the numbers you put into the LET a=FN ... line.
