PETSCII to screencode conversion
By Mace
While creating my own routine to display a floppy directory, I stumbled accross the awkward difference between ASCII/PETSCII codes and screencodes. In *SCII, the letter A is value 65, while on the screen it is value 1. Yet, simply subtracting 64 from all *SCII codes doesn't work. An easy way of converting would be to create a table, but that takes quite some space for something that is not that hard to code. Simply said, you have to divide the *SCII code in blocks and for each block apply a certain calculation to get the screencode.
It could look something like this:
// A = *SCII-code cmp #$20 // if A<32 then... bcc ddRev cmp #$60 // if A<96 then... bcc dd1 cmp #$80 // if A<128 then... bcc dd2 cmp #$a0 // if A<160 then... bcc dd3 cmp #$c0 // if A<192 then... bcc dd4 cmp #$ff // if A<255 then... bcc ddRev lda #$7e // A=255, then A=126 bne ddEnd dd2: and #$5f // if A=96..127 then strip bits 5 and 7 bne ddEnd dd3: ora #$40 // if A=128..159, then set bit 6 bne ddEnd dd4: eor #$c0 // if A=160..191 then flip bits 6 and 7 bne ddEnd dd1: and #$3f // if A=32..95 then strip bits 6 and 7 bpl ddEnd // <- you could also do .byte $0c here ddRev: eor #$80 // flip bit 7 (reverse on when off and vice versa) ddEnd: // screencode is now in accu
If you would like to use a table after all, you could use this one:
