I get it,
Scrolling the background AND the foreground 1 pixel to the left every frame.
And after 4 frames you swap page, and voila: on the new page the foreground is shifted 1 pixel extra to the left !!??? thats what you mean right?Wrapping... you mean making your background 32 pixels wide so after two pageswaps it repeats
itself? With this trick combined with the tilescroll technique you could have a very fast (lets say
200 pixels/second) scroll.
WRAPPING!!! O.k. think with me for a second:
Wrappin (very interesting)
*** making your background 32 pixels wide so after two pageswaps it repeats itself?
So every 16 pixels you swap page, right?
You could do this with a verticall and a horizontall scroll, right?
Could this be done with 48 pixels?
What other options/benefits do wrapping give you?
Could you think of some really cool tricks that you can achieve using WRAPPING?

You could do this with a verticall and a horizontall scroll, right? Yes.
Could this be done with 48 pixels? Yes by using 3 pages.

Wrapping reduces the total amount of bytes that you have to copy. So you can use or
spent some vdp time on other things, like I don't know... moving a big thing slowly up and
down. Space Manbow has those too you know. Only you might be able in doing it smooth.
Left and right maby only during a vertical scroll, also like in Space Manbow, must be
coincedence.

In what way can Spacemanbow 2 use the wrapping techniques so that it looks superior over Spacemanbow 1??
