There has been a tiny change to Varvara(#uxn) where the #00 Screen/sprite value will, from now on, only clear the pixels that are present in the sprite data at Screen/addr*. I've ported all the 100r roms to support the change, and updated the docs.

@hikari I liked how straight-forward your file was, so I tried replicating it, only more high res a bit. Thanks for making it, and helping throughout this update btw 😀

What hardware and OS do you host Varvara on now?

@mirth It depends, but for the summer I'm only working from the pinebook, it has manjaro on it.

Thanks. It's interesting to think about how much surplus capacity there is on modern hardware for so many tasks.

@mirth yeah, it's nice to explore this. I read in an article recently the phrasing "articulating the value absence" which is really nice.

I believe the launcher uses /projects/library/load-rom.tal which uses an old screen clearing routine (instead of pixel fill) which fails to properly clear the screen after this change.

@tbsp Yep! I've noticed that. I have a new version in the works that uses the same launcher as in potato, and clears the screen properly.
