Video modes wiki page updated

Topics on software tools like TileStudio, comments on documentation and tutorials (or the lack of) should go here.

Video modes wiki page updated

Post by danboid »

I've updated the video modes page of the wiki to add video mode 80, which I noticed was missing after seeing it mentioned looking through the old news updates.

https://uzebox.org/wiki/Video_Modes

Now I think the description of Mode 9 might need to be updated as it says "it provides the highest resolution on the Uzebox." Does mode 80 provide a higher resolution than mode 9? We likely want to update the description for mode 9 to point users toward using mode 80 instead, it seems.

You can remove that sentence from mode 9. Technically both 80x25 text modes, mode 80 is superior on all aspects. Most importantly, all 80 characters are fully visible and it consume 3-4 times less flash than mode 9. It's on my todo list to add it to the kernel from jubatians own github repo.

I have edited the Mode 80 and Mode 9 sections appropriately.
