Subject: [stella] I got a single line kernel working :) From: "Dennis Debro" <ddebro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2002 23:12:14 -0400 |
I am so excited. I finally got my single line kernel working with a stable picture :) I didn't think I could do it but it works. The next step is to test it on my Cuttle Cart. I definitely couldn't have done this without Piero's PCMSD11 demo or code submitted to the list. Thomas' skipDraw turned out to be a life saver :) I'm attaching screen shots of the 8-bit version of Climber5 and my screen shot taken from Z26. Notice my player has no hair :) Trying to get player colors and graphics done on a scan line along with doing HMOVE was really challenging for me. It helps that the obstacles are just a straight line and only one color. I guess the other challenge will be trying to get decent sound out of Stella simulating the POKEY chip :) I think I'm having problems with my scan line count. Right now Z26 is saying I'm producing 276 scan lines. I'm setting vertical blank time to $2B and overscan time to $23 and using TIM64T. This seems right but I'm getting too many scan lines. I know my kernel is only producing 192. I'll take a look it and see what I can figure out. My kernel seems quite large at 483 bytes. I'm not doing a lot of looping because I needed the time to update the screen. Later I will look into trying to reduce it. I'm also looking at ~1034 bytes of code so far. That's including joystick and console switch checking too. I'm not posting the code yet because I feel it's really nothing to show. I will post it when I have at least the player animation and ladder climbing computations in place. Anyway, I thought I'd share my joy with you all.
