Posts: 88		 [gamedev] Reading level data problem

Hi Folks!

I try to code something in asm, and as i like them its going to be a simple RPG.
But now i have a little problem, how to read the map data?
I have this, hardcoded for now, testdungeon in my programm:
party: ;X first and then Y
!byte $01,$02

dungeon1: ;16x16 grid of map data
!byte $00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$01,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$01,$01,$01,$00,$01,$01,$01,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$01,$00,$01,$00,$01,$00,$01,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$00,$00,$01,$00,$01,$01,$01,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$00,$00,$01,$01,$01,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00
!byte $00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00,$00

As i am used to do high level programming, i cant figure out how to get something from there with the party coordinates.
I hope somebody can give at least a hint how to get an address out of x and y.

There are many ways leading to rome...


If the operational specifications of 'doing' also includes executing in the minimum number of cycles then these 5 cycles being won (under equal conditions) do make a difference clearly..

Posts: 88		 Hey, i am coding a game, not a demo ;)
Aaaand i got an idea of manipulating the charset. Ok, i have done it the cheapest way possible, made it with cuneinform, inserted it into the source at $2000 and told the VIC where to find it.

If you want to see.
--> http://fileanchor.com/5356-d (1683 byte -ZIP)

Dev is slow but steady.
Next stop is a messaging system using the last 5 lines on the screen or so.
After that i will include the PCs and then the first NPCs, with them a battle screen.

If anyone wants to give me some GFX, be my guest ^.^

What kind of game is this supposed to become?

Hehe :)

x and y are variables of some sort..
This pseudocode would obviously become

a)
"y lda #0"
with y the label, where you would need to "sta y+1".
This would compile to something like "sta $1001"

b)
"y .byte 0
[..]
lda y"
where you would need to "sta y", which would compile to something like
"1000 0
1001 lda $1001
"
and "sta $1000"

c)
"y = $d0
[..]
lda y"
where you would need to "sta y", which would compile to
"lda $d0" and "sta $d0"

et cetera.. et cetera..

Posts: 136		 Using ORA instead of ADC lets you get rid of the CLC:

lda party+1 ;y
asl
asl
asl
asl
ora party ;x
tax
lda dungeon1,x

Then again, if your party 'x' and 'y' are guaranteed to be between 0 and 15, carry would be clear at that point regardless.
