;; This example demonstrates how to draw a compressed sprite on the screen. ;; ;; The compressed sprite data uses control codes to determine the following: ;; 1. end of line ;; 2. draw x bytes containing only opaque pixels ;; 3. skip x bytes containing only transparent pixels ;; 4. draw x bytes which have mask and data ;; ;; Compressed sprites are a good way of storing large sprites that are not rectangular ;; in shape and which have a lot of transparent pixels around them. ;; ;; The idea is to save both space, and to save time drawing them - no need to mask every byte ;; as is done with a standard sprite drawing routine. ;; ;; Clipping a compressed sprite is more difficult because it's not so easy to determine which area to draw and ;; what not to draw. ;; ;; There are 2 drawing functions. One which shows the sprite, the other shows the control codes. ;; ;; When control codes are drawn: ;; - flashing pink/blue shows the fully opaque regions ;; - white shows fully transparent regions ;; - grey shows the masked regions ;; ;; You can see that we don't draw anything on the right side. In a normal sprite routine we would be masking the ;; pixels in this area although nothing would be drawn and we would waste time for a large sprite. ;; ;; Other ways to draw a large sprite would be to split it into smaller sprites and draw them together. org &8000 ;; turn off listing; remove for pasmo assembler nolist scr_set_mode equ &bc0e txt_output equ &bb5a mc_wait_flyback equ &bd19 km_test_key equ &bb1e scr_set_ink equ &bc32 sprite_height equ 25 ;; sprite height in lines sprite_width_pixels equ 24 ;; sprite width in mode 0 pixels sprite_width_bytes equ sprite_width_pixels/2 ;; sprite width in bytes ;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- start: ;; set mode to 0 ld a,0 call scr_set_mode ;; put something on the screen so we can see the sprite masking working ld d,'A' ld b,24 l2: ld c,20 l1: ld a,d call txt_output dec c jr nz,l1 inc d dec b jr nz,l2 ;; make table of screen addresses for the start of each scanline call make_scr_table ;; draw sprite call draw_sprite_cur_coords ;;--------------------------------------------------- main_loop: ;; wait for VSYNC call mc_wait_flyback ;; get current coords and store them in prev coords ;; we compare new coords to previous coords to determine ;; if we should erase and then redraw the sprite. ;; this avoids continuous flicker if the sprite is not moving ;; however, the sprite can still disapear when moving around ;; the screen because there is a time when the sprite has been ;; deleted, the monitor has drawn it when it has been deleted ;; and we then draw the new version too late. ld hl,(sprite_coords) ld (prev_coords),hl ;; check keys call do_keys ;; wait for next interrupt ;; this ensures our code takes longer than the vsync time ;; so we can always wait just for the start of the vsync halt ;; draw the sprite if it has moved call redraw_sprite jp main_loop ;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- redraw_sprite: ;; coords changed? ld hl,(prev_coords) ld bc,(sprite_coords) or a sbc hl,bc ld a,h or l jr nz,rs1 ;; no change in x or y, so no update ret ;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- rs1: ;; restore background (where sprite used to be) ld hl,(prev_coords) ld de,sprite_background ld b,sprite_height ld c,sprite_width_bytes call sprite_background_restore draw_sprite_cur_coords: ;; store background pixels where sprite is now located ld hl,(sprite_coords) ld de,sprite_background ld b,sprite_height ld c,sprite_width_bytes call sprite_background_store ld hl,(sprite_coords) ;; uncomment this line to draw data to show sprite codes ;;call draw_sprite_code ;; uncomment this line to draw sprite for real call draw_sprite ret ;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; initialise a table make_scr_table: ld hl,&c000 ld b,200 ld ix,scr_table mst1: ld (ix+0),l ld (ix+1),h call scr_next_line inc ix inc ix djnz mst1 ret ;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- scr_table: defs 200*2 ;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; input conditions: ;; H = x byte coordinate (0-((scr_width_chars*2)-1)) ;; L = y coordinate (0-((scr_height_chars*char_height_lines)-1)) ;; output conditions: ;; HL = screen address get_scr_addr: push bc push de ld d,0 ld e,h ;; DE = x coordinate ld h,0 ;; HL = y coordinate add hl,hl ;; x2 for offset into table (2 bytes per y line) ld bc,scr_table add hl,bc ld a,(hl) inc hl ld h,(hl) ld l,a ;; HL = screen address for start of line ;; now add on X add hl,de pop de pop bc ret ;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; input conditions: ;; HL = screen address ;; output conditions: ;; HL = screen address (next scanline down) ;; scr_next_line: ;; go down next scan line ld a,h add a,8 ld h,a ret nc ;; add on amount to go to next char line ld a,l add a,&50 ld l,a ld a,h adc a,&c0 ld h,a ret ;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- code_eol equ 0 code_transparent equ &40 code_mask equ &80 code_opaque equ &c0 ;; this function draws a special byte for each of the codes.
