Geco's Wide scroll, the video attached shows the purpose of it.
In words from Hans: "Right cpc scrolls a text and sends output to left cpc through TMTNET.
So, I can make a banner and send it to many computers"
A little explanation:
TMTNET is a net for 8 bit computers that Hans continues developing for some decades. It comes included on every shape of SymbiFace3, also on the Enterprise version.
He has just released a stand-alone TMTNET MSX cartridge, so he is now very active developing multi-player games for it, both in Basic and in Quigs(SymbOS) versions. Programs in SymbOS are made multi-computer(CPC, MSX, Enterprise, PCW), but for the test he is programming on CPC Basic, then later the listings will be translated to the other computer's Basic(probably a task for me).
About the games, we are testing some easy to implement games, TicTacToe, UNO or Ludo. All include a 4 lines chat while playing. Imagine playing while chatting with Hans in The Netherlands, Teopl from Servia and me from Spain... Some games are only for two players, but others are for up to 4 or 7 players... all in remote.
On SymbOS the games work on 4 or 16 colour modes, so there is no need of a V9990 cartridge on the EP or the CPC, but recommended.
Here you have some pictures:
