It's tricky, but I think I've figured it out. First, it makes the X-coord zero if it's out of range (not between zero and 159.) Then, it takes the fine and coarse values in base-16 of the number (which are simply the high and low nibbles). To convert base-16 FC to base-15 FC, you add the F and C values and put that in F; if that's >15, you subtract 15 from F and add one to C. (Trust me, this works mathematically, though it's difficult to explain.) The rest of the code cleans up and puts the F and C values together into one register. >CNV: STA TEMP+1 > BPL LF34B > CMP #$9E > BCC LF34B > LDA #$00 > STA TEMP+1 >LF34B: here, the X-coordinate has been converted to zero if it was previously out of range, and it's in both A and Temp+1. >LSR > LSR > LSR > LSR > TAY Y=A/16 (Xcoord/16).

The coarse coordinate is now in Y, and A has the fine coordinate (zero to 14.) Y*15+A should equal the original X-coord (try tracing through the code with a few different values.) >CMP #$08 > EOR #$0F > BCS LF369 > ADC #$01 > DEY >LF369: INY This converts the 0 to 14 setup of the fine coordinates to the +7 to -7 setup that HMxx and HMOVE want. I think we increment Y here because we want to use a DEY/BNE loop, so zero iterations of the loop means Y should equal 1 (?) > ASL > ASL > ASL > ASL > STA TEMP+1 > TYA > ORA TEMP+1 And this just puts the fine and coarse together into the same 8-bit register. > RTS Obviously, the whole thing would be 12 cycles faster as a macro instead of as a subroutine if you can spare the space and only use it a few times. -- Archives available at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ E-mail UNSUBSCRIBE in the body to stella-request@xxxxxxxxxxx to be removed.
