A Simple Technique for Overlapping IRQ Handlers
Overlapping IRQ handlers is a a neat trick that allow us to write long-running subroutines without worrying that they will interfere with our other raster interrupts.

Anonymous IRQ (Interrupt Request Handlers) is a technique for making Commodore 64 demo programming easier by making interrupt handlers sequential: your code will be neatly kept in one place and its structure makes it easy to understand exactly what it is doing.
The Commodore 64 intro Orbit Untold by Fairlight from 2023 (youtube link) features a border scroll that looks unexpanded, despite being placed in the lower border and despite covering the entire visible screen area. This document explains how this effect is achieved with a technique we call multicolor ghostbyte shine-through.
