====== Fast 8bit * 8bit = 16bit multiply ======
<code>
; Fast 8bit * 8bit = 16bit multiply with 512 bytes tables
; Multiplies AC by "fac" and returns result in .A (high) and "rlo" (low)

; by litwr (aka Vladimir Lidovski)with help of Urusergi 20151023

;it uses formula
;  x*y = ((x+y)/2)^2 - ((x-y)/2)^2, if x+y is even
;      = ((x+y-1)/2)^2 - ((x-y-1)/2)^2 + y, if x+y is odd and x>=y

; Input variables:
;   AC (multiplicand)
;   fac (multiplier), should be at zeropage for speed

; Used variables:
;   AC, XR and YR
;   "fac" and "rlo" are two bytes, should be at zeropage for speed

; Size: 64 bytes in code + 512 bytes in tables = 576 bytes
; Time: 56-79 cycles (67.5 on average)
