In Topic: [coleco] Sprites Sample ( assembly codes listing )
Tue Feb 7, 2012 10:26 PM
Busy evening - got the current version of zasm to compile on my MacBook Pro and started work on a mode file (syntax coloring rules) for jEdit.
Dropped in your sample from the first post
cv_jedit.png 41.96K
6 downloads
and after commenting out fname and cpu, voila
cv_mugrat.png 10.21K
5 downloads
(yes, the flicker works as expected)
Now to start learning Z80 assembly!
Wonder how long until my SD cart arrives(I ordered it last Tuesday). Anticipation

No worries - your screenshot clearly showed you were on a Windows platform (by the window trim and the D:\ )
Forgot I had the Mac version of z26 - looks like it's showing too much of the screen, the thick green section at the top, and the thick black section at the bottom get cropped on a real TV so I don't think you need to worry about it:

I dropped it on my Harmony so you could see how it gets cropped, and I do see that there is a different glitch. Session 8 doesn't init anything so sprites, missiles, ball, playfield, etc are randomly turned on.

Quick change to the source:

You can find the code for CLEAN_START in macro.h. It's a short routine that sets everything to 0 so all the objects are turned off, colors are all set to black, audio is silenced, etc.

I just did a copy/paste and it looks OK here.

Possibly the macro.h or vcs.h file you're using is incorrect? Here's my "project" for session 8:
session8.zip 58.81K

This is how I compiled it on my Mac. The dasm in the zip is for OS X, so it won't run on your system.
