Damnit, now you're ENCOURAGING me to be lazy. That's a dangerous path to take... 

Hello RA!

im trying to stir up some motivation to contribute a screen..  you know what would really motivate me?!

if an ste master was to drop a few cheeky clues about interesting and unusual applications of the ste hardware (read: blitter)

I know that some of the ste freaks have got some mad tricks up their sleeves!  so dont be shy!  give us some clues

big kiss

Not forgetting:

• Biltter-drawing and distorting a Sierpinski triangle in real time

These are effects which have been done with the blitter or could done with it.

For Blitter-Gouraud you can read this article by RAY: http://freenet-homepage.de/ray.tscc/gouraud.htm
It is for Falcon but this can be used for STE too if you are using a c2p buffer. The used technique gave me also a lot of ideas for other things which could be done with the blitter.

Also keep in mind that you can calculate with the blitter using the bit oprations (XOR, AND, ...) and you can shift the result!

Sorry, that i won´t tell you all our current blitter effects before we have released them ourselves.

A big thanks to George and Ralph

my gut feeling tells me that the real special stuff involves halftone ram.
