It uses 12 scanlines...
So, I have been wondering for awhile about this kind of thing. I see people talking like "my routine takes X amount of scanlines," or "if you do X routine for X amount of scanlines," etc.
How exactly do you guys figure the amount of scanlines? Do you count as you step through a debugger? Do you count how many cycles the code takes, or even just guesstimate it? I'm just not sure how it gets figured up.
Thanks for any answers fellas (and/or ladies, should you be around).
