Show Koala Pic

I'm sure noone here has any problems with showing a simple Koala picture, but I came across this piece of code on codebase64.org and wondered why this had to be done so complicated...?

http://codebase64.org/doku.php?id=base:calculate_vic_settings_f..

In TurboAssembler it's pretty simple to calculate the VIC settings, see my example below. Isn't something similar possible with KickAssembler? Just wondering...

Example in TurboAssembler:

;---------------------------------------
;        Show Koala
;---------------------------------------
koala    = $6000
screen   = $5c00
;---------------------------------------
bank     = koala/$4000

         *= $1000

         lda #$3b
         sta $d011
         lda #koala-($4000*bank)/1024
         ora #(screen-($4000*bank))/64
         sta $d018
         lda #$d8
         sta $d016
         lda $dd02
         ora #%00000011
         sta $dd02
         lda $dd00
         and #%11111100
         ora #3-bank
         sta $dd00

         ldx #0
copy     lda koala+$1f40,x
         sta screen,x
         lda koala+$2040,x
         sta screen+$0100,x
         lda koala+$2140,x
         sta screen+$0200,x
         lda koala+$2228,x
         sta screen+$02e8,x
         lda koala+$2328,x
         sta $d800,x
         lda koala+$2428,x
         sta $d900,x
         lda koala+$2528,x
         sta $da00,x
         lda koala+$2610,x
         sta $dae8,x
         inx
         bne copy
         lda koala+$2710
         sta $d021
         lsr a
         lsr a
         lsr a
         lsr a
         sta $d020

         lda #0
         cmp $0277     ;wait for key
         bne *-3

         lda $dd02
         ora #%00000011
         sta $dd02
         lda $dd00
         and #%11111100
         ora #%00000011
         sta $dd00
         lda #$1b
         sta $d011
         lda #$15
         sta $d018
         lda #$c8
         sta $d016

         jmp $9000
;---------------------------------------

Note: The result of "bank = koala/$4000" is an integer.

AHHH!!


Now I see... I'm putting data at $0400, instead of $4400, which became my new screen (as opposed to $0400).

Thanks Soci :D

That was my problem.. I had the bank switch correct, but had my STA at $0400. I just changed my values and son of a bitch if it's not displayed proper....

Thanks Soci :D Now I can get this out today....

Quote: why not just store a fixed value to $dd00 though? i dare to say that "properly" ORing the value is very rarely needed - certainly almost never in the usual setup code at the start of your intro/demo/whatever :)

Did "proper" masking for long myself. Such stupidity. My usual setup code is now usually something along:
ldx #$2e
:
   lda vic,x
   sta $d000,x
   dex
bpl :-

vic: .byte register.setup.here...

copy0400: sta src
stx src+1
tsx
lda $0104,x
sta dest
lda $0103,x
sta dest+1

ldx #0
ldy #4
cop:
src = *+1
lda $ffff,x
dest = *+1
sta $ffff,x
inx
bne cop
inc src+2
inc dest+2
dey
bne cop
rts

call with:
lda #<scrn
pha
lda #>scrn

lda #<koala+$1f40

lda #<$d800

ldx #>koala+$1f40
jsr cop

screen and colorram has zero lowbyte, so you may hardcode this in cop routine. but if you want it flexible...
$0100 is the stack beginning. as return address is pushed, you need tsx: lda $0103,x...

thats overcomplicated, how about:

copy0400:

ldx #0
ldy #4
cop:
src = *+1
lda $ffff,x
dest = *+1
sta $ffff,x
inx
bne cop
inc src+2
inc dest+2
dey
bne cop
rts

call with:

lda #<scrn
sta dest
lda #>scrn
sta dest+1

lda #<koala+$1f40
sta src
lda #>koala+$1f40
sta src+1

jsr copy


lda #<$d800
sta dest
lda #>$d800
sta dest+1

lda #<koala+$1f40
sta src
lda #>koala+$1f40
sta src+1

jsr copy
rts

Or no flexibility, just copy what needs to be copied without messing up sprite pointers :-)

         ldx #0
copy     lda koala+$1f40,x
         sta screen,x
         lda koala+$2040,x
         sta screen+$0100,x
         lda koala+$2140,x
         sta screen+$0200,x
         lda koala+$2228,x
         sta screen+$02e8,x
         lda koala+$2328,x
         sta $d800,x
         lda koala+$2428,x
         sta $d900,x
         lda koala+$2528,x
         sta $da00,x
         lda koala+$2610,x
         sta $dae8,x
