Instructions

This is an attempt to create a sinus scroller using Scratch 2 for educational purposes. The main goal was the scroller to be as simple as possible but yet impressive. The whole style is based on the Amiga intro/cracktro/demo scene of the late 80s and early 90s. Back then, assembly was mainly used in programming in order this type of scrollers to move extremly smooth under the 7MHz of the Amiga processor. The creation of such a scroller in assembly required several days of "heavy" programming. In Scratch 2, it took me only a couple of hours! Although Scratch 2 is very easy to use as a programming language, it has several limitations, mainly in speed, even with very fast modern computers. But you know what they say... Limits are to be broken!
