Modify values from 60 to 130 to get new textures.

I would recommend to use a TR and KunBasic for making execution faster Smile

Treadmill was pretty easy to port to MSX1; just need to change SCREEN 8 to SCREEN 2 on line 50, OY=106 to OY=96 on line 70., and 32*7 to 2 at the end of lines 125 and 160. Probably won't be able to do Fabrege Eggs justice with 16 colors but I will see what I can do. Looks pretty neat on openMSX though. Speed wise, I'm getting spoiled by my homebrew MSX1-compatible running at 10MHz. Treadmill runs over 3X faster than an emulated MSX2.

This MSX-BASIC code was used to pre-calculate the 108 frames of the animated pixel-ball in ANMA's demo 'RELAX', which was released in 1992. This pixel-ball was used in 3 parts of the demo: Bouncy Bouncy, GONYOID mini-game, End Part.

Details:
This code first draws 36 frames of a 240-point pixel-ball (very slow on real MSX) by using PAGE 1, 2 and 3 in SCREEN 5 mode. After that use SPACE to animate the 36 frames (turn off emulator Throttle, otherwise animation is too fast). Use another key to exit. By setting the 'RESTORE' in line 10, you can choose which of the 108 frames will be drawn and animated:

10 RESTORE 510     ' -> first 36 frames
10 RESTORE 870     ' -> middle 36 frames
10 RESTORE 1230    ' -> last 36 frames

The DATA lines (from line 510 onwards) can be modified to change the rotating axes.
For the demo RELAX all 108 frames were converted to sprite-data: 4 x 4 sprites (= 64 x 64 pixels). In the Bouncy Bouncy part, two of these balls are rotating and bouncing.
Cheers!
