View source for Programming:Simple Raster Example 2 (uses CPC plus features)

<pre>
;; This example shows a simple raster using the CPC+ 
;; extended palette, and using standard CPC compatible 
;; raster interrupts to define the position of the raster 
;; on the display.
;; 
;; This example is designed for CPC+ only and will
;; not work on CPC or KC Compact.
;;
;;
;; This example will compile with the MAXAM assembler
;; or the built-in assembler of WinAPE32.


;; NOTE - For this example to work, the code must not
;; be in the range &4000-&7fff inclusive. The ASIC registers
;; are paged into this range, and the code would not be
;; visible to the CPU if it was also in this range.
