Hi Andrew,
> It's a real elegant piece of code, Dennis.
I agree with you there. I've been using skipDraw (without the illegal
opcodes) for Climber for a while now. I'm now trying to understand the
illegal opcode way to see if it can save me some cycles.

This is the part I don't understand. When doing skipDraw without the
illegal opcodes I see where the y-register is used to keep track of the
scanline count. In this piece of code though I don't see where y is
updated each scanline. When he skips to the next scanline, the
y-register is not updated.
The code snippet I posted deals with GRP0. On the next scanline Thomas
deals with GRP1 without updating the y-register :confused: Wouldn't the
y-register decrement (or increment) per scanline?
Take care,
Dennis
