Subject: [stella] Attempted Definitive Combat Dissassembly From: "Roger Williams" <mer02@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 3 Feb 2002 15:50:45 -0800 |
I intended to completely finish this before posting it, but my brain is fried on the ChkFire routine. Meanwhile I'd like to know I am not wasting synaptic connections which would be more useful to me if I pointed them toward the Super Bowl. This is a nearly complete disassembly of Combat. By "complete" I mean there are no "gee I wonder what this does" comments. I have filled in a lot of the gaps and there are just a few more to go. I think there is a sense that NBCOMBAT is "good enough" because the interesting tricks are to be found in later, more advanced games; but I'm interesed in going back in time and looking at how this very first home video game ever written was written. That's an historical perspective rather than a technical one. Besides, as I've found out, there are some interesting tricks in Combat. You just have to look for them. All comments, etc. and especially help with the few unfinished sections (you can recognize them because I haven't renamed teh Lxxxx and Bxxxx labels) will be most appreciated. --Roger Williams
