How "oldschool" graphics worked Part 1 - Commodore and Nintendo

This is a nice companion to ▶ this video which deals with more technical details of the implementation of NES and C64 graphics. This document reads like requirements to that video's design.

I believe that this is the same techniques that were covered in the excelent series "How oldschool graphics worked"[1] [1] ▶ this video

Yeah, this illustration is what can be done in PPT in 5 minutes to explain how adding more layers/data can filter noise from signal, when I don't think it will take 5 minutes for me to write a LaTEX code that does the same. That's not counting Powerpoint does allow me to draw lines and stuff easily on a canvas. If I want to do it in LaTEX, I probably will need to draw that diagram on a separate program and import it back. link Sorry, the slide is clipped for some reason, but that's because I don't know how to configure OBS. It's not the best illustration ever, but you probably get the idea. Here is an animation that isn't mine and I think it's really well done to explain a hard idea (not necessarily in PPT): ▶ this video

The 8-Bit Guy has some great videos about how graphics worked on the older systems (including C=64): ▶ this video
