82.228.218.6: /* Sprites Instructions Set */

'''B-Asic''' is a set of RSX commands allowing to use the Amstrad CPC Plus features from [[BASIC]]. It was written by [[Longshot]] of [[Logon System]].

== Introduction ==
'''B-ASIC''' is a set of RSX instructions to manage the extra features of the '''CPC PLUS'''

Since release 3.0 B-ASIC runs only on CPC range with 128 Kb memory

Main instructions can manage colour and sprites, providing an extra bank of '''64 sprites''' for a total of '''80 sprites'''

'''B-ASIC doesn't take any byte of the CPC Basic memory'''.

The RSX definition and code for locomative basic are not declared in main memory

By the way, the whole interruption system and RSX managment is modified when B-Asic start.

From a technical point of view, the code of the program BASIC using B-ASIC is copied in a bank, because
one bank is always open for the system to store the BASIC code.

By the way, there are two video pages available for the user.

Some instructions are not explained because they will disappear from next version.
(SPLIT, RETARDX, RETARDY, MASQUE)
A set of new powerful instructions will come in future versions.

== Historics ==
* V3.1 xx/xx/1993 B-ASIC doesn't use any byte of BASIC main memory
* V3.2 25/02/2006 Bug fix on table calculation for path in interrupt / Correct a firmware bug (ei before real interrupt handler end)
* V3.3 27/02/2006 Forgotten to copy BASIC code from bank 2 to 5 / New instruction : SPRWHERE

* It's possible to generate complex definitions of sprites movments.
* If a sprite 1 use a path 1 and a sprite 2 use a path 2, if the sprite 2 is the slave of sprite 1, then
* the path 2 will be relative to path 1.
* To erase the slavery of a sprite, use DEFORGXY instruction
----
'''SPRWHERE,SpriteNumber,@varx%,@vary%'''
* SpriteNumber=[0..15] varx=Name of x variable vary=Name of y variable
* Get the x,y coordinates of the specified sprite

B-ASIC

2006-10-05T17:18:56Z

82.228.218.6: /* Sprites Instructions Set */

'''B-Asic''' is a set of RSX commands allowing to use the Amstrad CPC Plus features from [[BASIC]]. It was written by [[Longshot]] of [[Logon System]].

== Introduction ==
'''B-ASIC''' is a set of RSX instructions to manage the extra features of the '''CPC PLUS'''

Since release 3.0 B-ASIC runs only on CPC range with 128 Kb memory

Main instructions can manage colour and sprites, providing an extra bank of '''64 sprites''' for a total of '''80 sprites'''

'''B-ASIC doesn't take any byte of the CPC Basic memory'''.

The RSX definition and code for locomative basic are not declared in main memory

By the way, the whole interruption system and RSX managment is modified when B-Asic start.

From a technical point of view, the code of the program BASIC using B-ASIC is copied in a bank, because
one bank is always open for the system to store the BASIC code.

By the way, there are two video pages available for the user.

Some instructions are not explained because they will disappear from next version.
(SPLIT, RETARDX, RETARDY, MASQUE)
A set of new powerful instructions will come in future versions.

== Historics ==
* V3.1 xx/xx/1993 B-ASIC doesn't use any byte of BASIC main memory
* V3.2 25/02/2006 Bug fix on table calculation for path in interrupt / Correct a firmware bug (ei before real interrupt handler end)
* V3.3 27/02/2006 Forgotten to copy BASIC code from bank 2 to 5 / New instruction : SPRWHERE

* Define a path for the specified sprite.
* The path is defined by screen positions, given by a set of x,y coordinates defined in memory.
* Each coordinate is defined on 2 bytes (4 bytes for a screen position) in the memory
* The coordinate must be stored on a little endian method, e.g. the less significant byte in first and the most significant byte in second position in memory.
* The last x coordinate must take the value F0F0 (hexa) to indicate the path end definition
* DurationPer indicates the time while the sprite will run on the path (at the last position
* the path start again at the fist position).
* If DurationPer is zeroed, so the duration is infinite.
* WaitingPer indicate the start period which occurs when the path will be activated
* (see SPRTON and SPRTOFF instructions)
* Note : A same path can be used by one or more sprites.
* Example : SPRTDEF,3,&3000,0,100 to define for sprite 3 a path defined in &3000 with an infinite

* Save a sprite or a set of 16 sprites (defined as one Block) to disk
* B-Asic can store 64 sprites definitions more than the usal sprite contained in asic ram.
* These 64 sprites are organised as 4 sets of 16 sprites named "Block".
* Bloc 1 : sprites 0 to 15, Bloc 2 : sprites 16 to 31, Bloc 3 : sprites 32 to 47 and
* Bloc 4 : sprites 48 to 63
* Bloc 0 is used for the 16 "real" asic sprites.
* If SpriteNumber is not precised in the instruction, so a complete block is saved
* If SpriteNumber is precised, only the specified sprite of the block is saved
* Note : Sprites are not optimised (e.g. 1 pixel=1 byte)
* Example : SPRSAVE,3,2,"SPR3BLK1.BIN" save the sprite 3 of the Bloc 2 (e.g. sprite 18/63)
* in the file named "SPR3BLK1.BIN"
* Example : SPRSAVE,0,"SPRASIC.BIN" save the content of block 0 (e.g. 16 asic sprites)
----
'''SPRLOAD,[SpriteNumber,] BlocNumber, Filename'''
* SpriteNumber=[0..15] BlocNumber=[0..4] Filename=Name of file in Amsdos standard
* Load a sprite or a set of 16 sprites (defined as one Block) from disk
* B-Asic can store 64 sprites definitions more than the usal sprite contained in asic ram.

* Bloc 1 : sprites 0 to 15, Bloc 2 : sprites 16 to 31, Bloc 3 : sprites 32 to 47 and
* Bloc 4 : sprites 48 to 63
* Bloc 0 is used for the 16 "real" asic sprites.
* If SpriteNumber is not precised in the instruction, so a complete block is loaded
* If SpriteNumber is precised, only the specified sprite of the block is loaded
* Note : Sprites are not optimised (e.g. 1 pixel=1 byte)
* Note : If the file specified has an invalid size, an error is displayed
* Example : SPRLOAD,3,2,"SPR3BLK1.BIN" load the sprite 3 of the Bloc 2 (e.g. sprite 18/63)
from the file "SPR3BLK1.BIN"
* Example : SPRLOAD,3,"RAAHHHHH.SPR" load the block 3 (e.g. sprites 32 to 47) from file "RAAHHHHH.SPR"
----

'''SPRLINK,SpriteNumber1,SpriteNumber2,Xrel,Yrel'''
* SpriteNumberx=[0..15] XRel=[-256..767] YRel=[-256..255]
* Link a sprite (2) to another sprite (1) with a relative position.
* That means if sprite (1) is moved, then sprite (2) is moved too.
* So if sprite 1 is moved in X1,Y1 then the sprite 2 will be moved automatically in X1+Xrel,Y1+Yrel
* It's possible to link all the sprites in all combinations to create one or more "super sprites"
* Note : A sprite cannot be linked to itself.
* Example : SPRLINK,1,2,16,0 link sprite 2 to sprite 1 with a relative x position of 16 pixels
* Example : SPRLINK,2,5,0,16 link sprite 5 to sprite 2 with a relative y position of 16 pixels

----
'''DEFORGSPR,SpriteSlave,SpriteMaster'''
* SpriteSlave=[0..15] SpriteMaster=[0..15]
* Define the origin position of SpriteSlave with the position of SpriteMaster.
* Note : It's possible to define a sprite relative position for a sprite following a path (see SPRTDEF)
* It's possible to generate complex definitions of sprites movments.
* If a sprite 1 use a path 1 and a sprite 2 use a path 2, if the sprite 2 is the slave of sprite 1, then
* the path 2 will be relative to path 1.
* To erase the slavery of a sprite, use DEFORGXY instruction
----
'''SPRWHERE,SpriteNumber,@varx%,@vary%'''
* SpriteNumber=[0..15] varx=Name of x variable vary=Name of y variable
* Get the x,y coordinates of the specified sprite
* Important note : varx and vary must be defined first like integer (declaration in basic with '%') and
