I have had I nice discussion with Powerslave in PM about the code, and Per said he would be fine with me to post a few details about how the raster scroller in Gumbo works in this thread. It is NOT an attempt to hi-jack the discussion to be about my demo, I just hope it will be of interest:
Per wrote:
> Hi, how did you solve the problem to keep track if you should write or clear on the leftmost column? This was the main reason for me to use two different op codes for clear and write. You write that you only used noop so there must have been also a rolled table, or did you find another solution?
Raz, Reply #1:
I actually even do it in loop, with the following code 8xunrolled - and I then have a different part of the code to update the opcodes (STA = set the colour of the line, STY = clear, NOOP = do nothing). My original code for the proof-of-concept was way less than 1 kb =)
I do the NOOP trick to preserve the flags, since I need the results of the early DEX preserved. This is from the bugfixed version - in the original one I used BIT, but I needed to move the first store 2 cycle to the left.
The LDX is the height of the current line.
d020scroll_proto:
//store_start:
ldx #$20 // 2c, 2b - cyc 2 (earliest: 62)
d020loop:
lda coltab2,x // 4c, 3b - cyc 4
sta $d020 // 4c, 3b - cyc 8 (earliest: 5)
dex
sty $d020 // 4c, 3b - cyc 12
sta $d020 // 4c, 3b - cyc 16
sty $d020 // 4c, 3b - cyc 20
sta $d020 // 4c, 3b - cyc 24
sty $d020 // 4c, 3b - cyc 28
sta $d020 // 4c, 3b - cyc 32
sty $d020 // 4c, 3b - cyc 36
sta $d020 // 4c, 3b - cyc 40
sty $d020 // 4c, 3b - cyc 44
sta $d020 // 4c, 3b - cyc 48
sty $d020 // 4c, 3b - cyc 52
sta $d020 // 4c, 3b - cyc 56 (earliest: 53) - 13 STA/STY "pixels" to modify
beq !skip+ // 2c (3c)- cyc 62
lbjmp: jmp d020loop // 3c - cyc 1 -> BYTES: 2 + (14*3) + 1 + 2 + 3 = 50 bytes
Raz, Reply #2: - I forgot to mention how I handle the left-most column:
This is handled by the code that updates the opcodes. It always forces a STA/STY at the first position, and then from there it keeps track of changes.
As I decode the chars (including variable lenghts) I translate the bit-pattern into opcodes: STA (bit=1) and STY (bit=0). In the update-opcode-matix code I always keep track of the previous opcode per line, and if the same opcode is seen again I store $0c instead. Hmm - guess it will be easier if I just clean-up and post the source together with the revised version of Gumbo =)
Cheers

@Editors: If you think this should be posted under the Gumbo demo instead, you're very welcome to move it. |

| I did it in a similar way but used two opcodes to be able to easy keep track if the previous "dot" was set or clear. I use STA ($8d) / NOP ($0c) for a "write" and STX ($8e) / BIT ($2c) for a "clear". This was the way I found to make the code as compact as possible. |

| @JackAsser: I went with the "grey edges" in Gumbo as well - guess this is the optimal solution. (I did it with opcode $0c = noop $d020 instead of store in case the colour in one cell the the same as the previous one - and STA/STY in case I need to change the colour). I look forward to peek into this one and see how it's implemented. |

Sweet - good to see, that I'm not the only one liking big raster scrollers =)
That reminds me, that I never got around to post the updated version of the scroller in "Gumbo" - looks like I have a TODO for the weekend.
Cheers

| @Jammer: Indeed they are. Introducing: Grey edges! Is trickier that one might think because you must not set $d020 to the same color twice. |

| BTW, aren't fringes of letters grey dots alltogether? ;) |

| Ok, let Didi decide as you write. Code is clearly only one part. The sprite logo is always there even if covered by the $d020 scroll. Just blanking out the screen with the DEN bit when the scroll should be visible and using illegal bitmap mode when the logo should be visible. There is nothing written that the scroll and logo must be visible at the same time... :) But it’s not up to me to decide. |

| after watching the intro again I think it's absolutely fantastic but... IMHO not compliant to ICC2019 rules: it's clearly 2 parts, one with only a logo and no scrolltxt and one with scrolltxt and no logo. well, let Didi decide... sorry TRIAD and authors, don't hate me :) |
