A89: Re: interrupts
Interrupts as I understand them are a part of hardware that executes a
location in memory when a certain thing happens. There is a wealth of
information about interrupts on TI-89 Central http://ti89.acz.org/ that
explains interrupts. I think that it even has information about interrupts
in the greyscale section.
One of the interrupts that occurs very often is used to switch between two
locations in memory.... blah blah blah... and you know the rest of how
greyscale works using interrupts...
