Simple Software to Background collision
by Achim
To check wether a specific object has been hit or not, the correct screen position has to be calculated.
Use sprite-X to calculate the screen column:
lda spriteX //16bit subtraction sec sbc #$18 //x-offset, visible screen area starts at x=$18 sta tmp1 lda spriteMSB //MSB in bit 0 of spriteMSB sbc #$00 lsr //MSB -> carry lda tmp1 ror //9bit value : 8 lsr lsr sta column
If you're code uses the 2*x trick to simplify MSB-handling, an 8bit subtraction and a division by 4 is needed.
Use sprite-Y to calculate number of screen rows:
lda spriteY sec sbc #$32 //y-offset, visible screen area starts at y=$32 lsr //8bit value : 8 lsr lsr sta numberrows
Use “numberrows” to fetch actual screen row from a lookup table:
ldx numberrows lda screenmemlowbyte,x //=lookup table for low bytes of screen rows sta tmp0 //zp address lda screenmemhibyte,x //=lookup table for hi bytes sta tmp1 //zp address+1 checkvalue: ldy column lda (tmp0),y //read char value ...
The result is the top left screen position of the sprite.
There are two options to check the other eight possible screen positions underneath the sprite (or any other position next to the sprite):
- Use different x- and y-offset values for subtraction. (Check this program: spritebackgr.zip, hit “x” and “y” to change offset values, Sprite located at $2000)
- Manipulate “column” to reach next two screen rows and next two screen columns: column+40=next screen row, column+80=lowest screen row, column+1=top middle of sprite, column+2=top right of sprite etc.
