after GBA with Vibe demo I saw those Amiga OCS copper chunky rotozoomers appearing even on Atari STE so... as APAC mode (256 PAL blending software mode) was on my bucket list since 90s again (My carpe demo contains several apac images and a cubber APAC pic there).

so...as Atari 8bit is the parent of the Amiga and those HAM rotos appearing I was using the so called APAC mode which appeared on A8 in the 80s but is not often used in demo scene due to the every scanlne using raster interrupts for GTIA mode switches needed to achieve PAL blending.

odd and even scanlines show 16 shades or 16 base colours resulting on PAL CRT monitors or TVs 256 colours freely used.

so my rotozoomer uses on top interlacing on top so the PAL blending is better on CRT monitors but suck on youtube and Emulators but well...

some facts:

runs on 6502c PAL machines, rotozoom 42x42 pixels, 64x64 texture (2 needed one for colours and one for shades).

of course... I used a clown as image (you can guess whom...) the small music was composed with own small "tracker" by Syntopalooza.

now what about Speccy, C64, Plus/4 etc???
Thanks a lot for explaining the tech background. I don't know anything
about the XL/XE but it sounds like a pretty cool and versatile 8bit machine!

Nice work and rotozoomer. I like :-)

I love the effect, but I couldn't run neither versions on my Atari XE with Fujinet
