Custom consolescreen

Changed/ Updated memory map at first post :P
Display memory layout changed.
Added support for normal rt screens, so you can have a small box of like 4x3 pixel where the image of the normal rt cam will be rendered.
Both character layers have got a global alpha register ( Adds abilities to easily fade from one text layer to the other )
A register which contains a 1 if the screen got used by a player, once read it restores itself back to 0.

:Edit:
A quick screenshot of the screen with a 20x10 block RT screen


Uhm, right now the rt is rendered on top of the screen, I'll add another register which enables text layer 1 and 2 to be rendered on top of it :P (Once this is done I want somebody to create a fully automated wired tv studio with overlay text )

Update

Some tweaking here, tweaking there. Got the rt-overlay stuff done. You can set it to overlay layer 1 or layer 2 or both.
In this example pic: "Overlay" is layer 1 and set to overlay, "Not Overlay" is layer 2 and not set to overlay... well it doesn't even need to since it's outside the rt area but meh :C.

Things left to do is the cell/row/column shifting and clearing and a lib to use with ZC32, oh and a documentation of the registers and custom characters

No comments? :P

I worked on the screen, fixed a lot of things, added some graphics, etc

Here's a small demo video:


The C library works nicely, adding some more useful functions later.
