Cross Chess in Cross Chess from Gliński's and Shafran's hexagonal variants, resulting in move possibilities more akin to standard chess. (E.g., a bishop has six diagonal move directions in Glinski's hex chess, whereas a Cross Chess bishop has four directions; a rook has six directions in Glinski's, whereas along ranks and on the Cross Chess board, it has four.) As with hex-based boards, three cell colors are used, but same-color cells highlight horizontal ranks on the Cross Chess board, not diagonals. The diagram shows the starting setup. Special rank and diagonal paths determine how pieces move, as described below. Check, checkmate, and
Horizontal blanking interval layer on a scanline by scanline basis to create many different effects. The most famous and hyped effect of Mode 7 was to turn the background layer into a planar texture map. Horizontal blanking interval Horizontal blanking interval refers to a part of the process of displaying images on a computer monitor or television screen via raster scanning. CRT screens display images by moving beams of electrons very quickly across the screen. Once the beam of the monitor has reached the edge of the screen, the beam is switched off, and the deflection circuit voltages (or currents) are returned to
