==== 1x1 Scrolling message inside IRQ interrupts ==== This routine shows you how to create a 1x1 smooth scrolling message inside an IRQ raster interrupt routine. Looking below you will see that this scroller uses 2 iterrupts. As we cut the raster positions into two parts. Most of the upper raster ramains as normal, while the bottom raster has a smooth scroll effect. Note: Source is programmed in ACME cross-assembler and it has been tested beforehand too. ;1x1 scrolling message inside IRQ by Richard Bayliss smooth = $02 ;Control for smooth scroll screenloc = $0798 ;This is the line for where the scroll is placed !to "irqscroll.prg",cbm * = $4000 sei jsr $ff81 lda #message sta read+1 sty read+2 lda #interrupt1 ldy #$1b sta $314 stx $315 sty $d011 lda #$7f sta $dc0d lda #$01 sta $d01a cli hold jmp hold interrupt1 inc $d019 lda #$00 sta $d012 lda smooth ;Scroll section sta $d016 lda #interrupt2 sta $314 stx $315 jmp $ea7e interrupt2 inc $d019 lda #$e0 sta $d012 lda #$08 ;No scroll section here sta $d016 lda #interrupt1 sta $314 stx $315 jsr scroll jmp $ea7e scroll lda smooth sec sbc #$01 ;Speed of scroll can be edited to how you want it, but don't go too mad :) and #$07 ;We need this to make the variable smooth into something smooth :) sta smooth bcs endscroll ldx #$00 wrapmessage lda screenloc+1,x sta screenloc,x inx cpx #$28 bne wrapmessage read lda screenloc+$27 cmp #$00 ;Is byte 0 (@) read? bne nowrap ;If not, goto label nowrap lda #message sta read+1 sty read+2 jmp read nowrap sta screenloc+$27 inc read+1 lda read+1 cmp #$00 bne endscroll inc read+2 endscroll rts message !scr "hello folks. this is a 1x1 char message scroller" !scr " inside an IRQ interrupt, coded by richard bayliss" !scr " of the new dimension, in acme cross assembler ...
