LDA #212 STA xdelay LDA xpos CLC ADC #02 SEC DivideBy3 DEC xdelay SBC #$03 BCS DivideBy3 This version is MUCH slower and can eat up a whole extra scanline depending on the value of xpos. Very handy if you need to burn up those pesky, unwanted free cycles. If it weren't for the Atari's oceans of RAM and blazing fast CPU, we wouldn't have to hack together workarounds like this. Thankfully, today we can rely on Windows to quickly and efficiently consume every free resource without writing a single line of assembly. -Lee (PS: Seriously Manuel, thanks for sharing your routine!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
