The graphics set was derived by re-mapping the 256 characters and then displaying these on screen in the required character position. Animation was possible, however it required the remapping and juggling of 255 8x8 arrays, which were the character set and when you used the existing character set you had to re map it before being able to display any text. Took me a week to do a simple animation of a fork likt truck ! Hey, in the 80's this was cool and amazing at the time, video on an ipod freaks me out now !
