HUNTING
Let us go with you
hunting, and hunting it is ...
It was just that this is our hunting unusual: we will hunt you
for sprites. What do we
need? It's very simple.
Get the scoop on their old times
drive and locate the 1.2 software
that you moved from the tape, or you know exactly what they
not protected by our craftsmen.
Define "virgin" (unless
that MAGIC'om poporchenuyu) program is simple - it likely will
not boot when jumping lines with greetings or labels such as
"CRACKET BY ...". Other programs we do not fit, as they are
compressed, protected, and we simply do not find them.
Now it is necessary to arm. I
for example, took a not very
new, but I tested and distributed Inforkomom Program File dump
editor. This very useful program, and through her we can easily
find sprites in your programs. If you have
do not have it, then look for
on the drive any other, capable of browsing and searching in
programs sprites. For those who have
who generally do not have any programs that I offer my own. You
should assemble it in the area memory, which definitely will
not be overwritten're viewing unit
(Best of 3 third of the screen,
as She deliberately did not use the program). Then you should
download the program block and run the viewer.
After starting the program you
will see the following keys:
1 - Switch modes -
character / sprite.
Q - Reduces the address of view
1 byte.
A - Increases the address of view
1.
O - Reduces the size of the maps the
emogo windows in length by 1.
P - Increases the size of the map
isplay window at 1.
SPACE - Exit to BASIC.
Q + SHIFT - Reduces the address space
Despite the 256.
A + SHIFT - Increases address
viewing on the 256.
Initially, the address set
A font ROM and the mode
view symbols. You will be able
find with this program
sprites almost all formats.
Program size is very small. You can also improve
its discretion by increasing the number of keys. The program is
written to the assembler TASM, but its just a remake
for other assemblers.

Well, the weapon is chosen, and
we begin the hunt. What we
need to find? Sprites. Increasing or decreasing address view
and resizing the window, locate the
Playing pictures, pre-translated in the viewer
view sprites.
To view I took a few programs from the collection: 3D BATMAN
(OCEAN), ELEFANT1 (CODE MASTERS), JACK THE NIPPER-2, KRAKOUT.
Let's see, what I had in them find. The first three sprite I
found in a search mode, sprites, and sprite from the program
was KRAKOUT found in the character display mode.
Actually, on this our hunt is over and we gradually move to
the next chapter, which explained to us what we found.
