New playfield: procedure(s)?

[ultima]

I can't recall where I was reading this but the topic discussed was about writing chunks of data to replace a piece of playfield. The new thing mentioned replacing a routine the loon made for drawing pieces of playfield.

I think bogax was trying to help me. Either had to do with 4 way scrolling playfields or just simply reading DATA statements and spitting out the playfield from there. Which are you trying to do?

[ultima]

Yeah I think it was using DATA ..and it was a fixer for a routine you used

I believe you're looking for this. Gotta figure this out for my game too...

I remember reading this thread but the one I was trying to recall had mentioned theloon's example (or demo) that the player moved around rooms and the playfield had 3 interchangeable pieces top, center, and bottom maybe his WIP Rogue engine I think.

Ah ok I think I found the one Loon mentioned
