| Columns for Palm |
| What? | Columns is
my interpretation of the Sega game (it's probably their trademark as well)
for the Palm (at the time called
PalmPilot). It directly accesses the hardware, and thus is not a very
"compatible" program. It will probably die horribly on newer color models,
but should be OK on the black and white ones that are 160x160 in resolution.
Dug this stuff out of the back of the closet, thought I had lost it. Maybe
it'll be useful to somebody out there. Footnote: Why did it directly access the hardware? Because at the time the OS did not support greyscale thought the hardware did. Therefore the only way to get greyscale was to bypass the OS. I certainly was not unique in doing so, nor was the first one (not even close). I had read a couple of documents on it, and decided it would be cool. |
