Textmode Starfield Effect in ARM Assembler for Raspberry Pi

Date: 2020-08-15

This video shows a basic Starfield effect developed in ARM assembler for the Raspberry Pi. The code is compiled in a real RPi 2 B+ with Retropie installed. Raspberry is accesed through SSH and the effect works perfect in terminal mode via WiFi. The effect uses four layers of stars, with different characters (Ox+.) and velocities.

The effect is so fast that using 0 delay all frames are rendered without a chance to see them. The video shows how changing frame delay affects the velocity of star movement and frame rendering.
