All! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= From: "Alexander Shushkov" To: Abzac_group Date: Thursday, February 6, 2003, 6:33:17 PM Subject: [abzac] Studies in programming on the Spectrum Files: --====----====----====----====----====----====----====----====----====----===-- Get 128 Bit SSL Encryption! http://us.click.yahoo.com/LIgTpC/vN2EAA/xGHJAA/dpFolB/TM It is advisable to publish this text on news sites. ============================================================ I propose to work on a new project - a brochure: "Sketches in programming in assembler Z-80" (working title). What is the need for this kind of brochure/book? - This has never happened before and does not exist yet; - I myself would need such a brochure (and as it turns out now, not only for me); - I’m not used to asking people whether this is necessary at all, otherwise we wouldn’t We also saw the Paragraph. We need to act! What will it look like?- About the same as the newspaper Paragraph, only thicker. Who is the author? - I myself will be one of the authors; - I invite all interested parties to cooperation. What do I offer for cooperation? - I can’t offer anything for a couple of procedures, just a mention of your authorship; - One/two copies of the future brochure for a significant contribution to the cause; - Become a distributor of this brochure, but at your own expense. What are the release dates? - Nothing can be said in advance, but we can say with confidence that this It will take at least a year, possibly more. Approximate content: +++++++++++++++++++++ Introduction (from the author/s) 1. Arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, roots, powers, sin, cos, etc. Can work with large numbers) 2. Calculation of addresses on the screen (attributes, pixels) 3. Working with sprites (address calculation, sprite output, mirror rotation and etc.) 4. Poll of keyboard, joysticks 5. Sounds (AY, Beep`er) 6. Working with text (output, calculation, compression, ALT, WIN, KOI encodings, embedding color in text, font formats) 7. Compressors/decompressors (primitive and short) 8. Working with extended memory (its calculation, ports of known computers, page switch drivers, universal driver) 9. Working with printers (ports, testing, printing) 10. Working with the drive (error handling, fast drivers) 11. Testing hardware /its presence and generally working with it/ (hard drive, CDRom, mouse, modem, printer, joysticks, GS, DMA, processor, AY, turbo/not turbo, Cmos, etc.) 12. Little tricks (XOR A, ADD hl, -x, etc.) 13. Big tricks (maybe this includes displaying the screen outside the frame and etc.) 14. Miscellaneous (all kinds of short procedures, maybe the same extinguishers/dampers from ZX-Review, etc.) 15. Ideas (here you can simply describe some ideas that, in their own way, volume would take up a lot of space, it is possible to combine the item with “large tricks") 16. Literature (if possible, describe in the procedures where they were taken from, or their authorship) The content is not final, so it may change, be replenished, get better. Suggestions are accepted. ============================================================ Sincerely, Sasha Ksor.
