PRINT Sprite
(Coordinates are
In the familiarity)
Now we're with you, we consider
simple procedure for printing
sprites. All their simplicity lies in the fact that the
coordinates are given in print familiarity. This the fastest
and at the same time not are really necessary and the
procedure, but we must consider them, because they provide the
basis for all procedures for printing sprites.
Consider the basic structure of the procedure. What is it
should be: let's look at the data that we have
There are at this point: it is
length and height of the sprite, its address in the box and the
coordinates of the press. The first thing we need to get
address in the screen, which would correspond to the
coordinates of our press, and it helps us to calculate the
unpretentious files of: 140.

Now absolutely all data from
We have and we can do nothing except print a sprite
on the screen. We still have some data - is the length and
height of the sprite. You have not thought about which of these
numbers is more important? Now is the time think about it,
because of This depends on the speed of
Your procedure. If you look at this earlier scheme for storing
a sprite, you can easily answer this question. So, the
important thing here is the height of the sprite, with her and
we organize the first cycle of the press.
Now it was time to give all
procedure completely.

SETSPR LD HL, (COORD); Writes in HL coordinates printing.
CALL ADR; calculate the address on the screen.
LD DE, (ADRSPR); In DE enters the address data sprite.

sprite.

Now let's try to print on screen the sprite with the mask
from the game 3D BATMAN. Look at how this will look Program:
140.
PRINSPR LD HL, (COORD); We take the coordinates of the press.
CALL ADR; calculate the address on the screen.
PUSH HL; Store.
LD DE, (ADRSPR); In DE address of sprite in memory.
CALL SETSPR; impose a mask.
POP HL; Restore address on your screen.
LD A, # B6; Change command AND (HL) on the OR (HL).
LD (IZM), A
CALL SETSPR; Print the sprite.

As seen from this program,
we printed a sprite like 2 times, that does not work very
quickly and does not speak in favor of such storage format.
Now let's print it
sprite to the program ELEFANT-1:
140.PRINTSPR LD HL, (COORD)
CALL ADR
LD DE, SPRDATA
LD B, HGT
SETSPR1 PUSH HL
LD C, LEN
SETSPR2 LD A, (DE); Take a byte mask.
AND (HL); combines it with the byte of the screen.
INC DE; proceed to byte sprite.
EX DE, HL; temporarily changes the HL and DE, in
places, so
, As OR (DE) no.
OR (HL); Print the bytes in the sprite.
EX DE, HL; Restore DE.
LD (HL), A; redraw the screen.
INC DE
INC HL

JR NZ, SETSPR2
POP HL

DJNZ SETSPR1

This is the fastest of all
given before this procedure
printing and the most effective.
I want to focus your attention on the
the next moment - as
byte mask, and byte sprite alternate with each other, then the
length sprite can not be 3
familiarity, and 6 (where 6 can
bypassed if the program that creates the sprites, do not take
into account this point), then you should
before entering the length of the register
C to reduce it to twice the team SRL A. Feature of this program
is that sprite appears on the screen
smoothly, because when you print
sprite previous (particularly
first) programs, if the sprite
is quite large, you can see
screen flicker.
Well, now we have to print a sprite from the program
JACK THE NIPPER-2. Here, too,
should draw your attention to
that in the header length can
indicated wrong: can
be given the total length of the mask and
sprite, and you have the same C
divided by 2, as in the previous procedure:
140.

I did not give detailed
Comments on this procedure,
it almost doubles the second and differs from it only
arrangement of structural elements.
Previous sprites we printed without attributes to print the
attributes of the sprite, we must add to these procedures,
another small. For the second procedure, it should be made into
a routines and cause a
CALL at the end of the head of the program.
To print the attributes of the sprite
we need to address in the screen, which we got after calling
sub ADR, for this HL
must maintain two, not one
times, as in previous versions.
For the first procedure before calling the print attributes
restore the address on the screen, and the first line labeled
SETATTR Playing print attributes remove. Well, now the
procedure itself:
140.SETATTR POP HL; Restore address on your screen.

For sprites in the format ELEFANT-1 and JACK NIPPER-2 length
also is divided by 2 (unless, of course, you had to share it
for printing sprites).
Many may notice a strange design in the place where
We divided the height of the sprite to 8. I
forced to clarify this situation.
If your sprite in height is a multiple of
familiarity (divisible by
8), then this construction can be replaced by three teams SRL
B; but That is, if the sprite in
height not a multiple of familiarity, there may be disputes:
Example: height was 9
pixels. When divided by two, we
we get 4, 4 - 2, 8 - 1
but then the sprite in the attributes of familiarity takes 2 (9
line is as follows familiarity), and painted attributes will
only the first 8 lines. But for this, and
need a similar design.
Well, here we are with you and print all major formats of
sprites in familiarity, and we should go to print on sprites
pixels.
