    lousy idea conan4.webp
  3. Estece
    I will throw a lossy idea for conan.gfx image compression. DXT1 aka S3TC for atari,any one?

    function check(n, c : byte): boolean; var i: byte; dud: byte; tim: byte; tip: byte; begin check := true; tip:=c + n; tim:=c - n; for i := 1 to (n - 1) do begin dud:=board[i]; if (dud = c) or ((dud - i) = tim) or ((dud + i) = tip) then exit(false); end; end; 216 obvious simple things

    Plus 2 frames :) plus2frames.xex
  6. Estece
    Using all above suggestions and mads i got 42 PAL or 53 NTSC frames for full fill 256x192 pixels. fastantF.xex

    Yautja please tell everyone how i feel right now. This is why i need tester with excellent communication skill , not a one that are bad with mind reading :) There is above 60 downloads but not a single comment on site. Mr Robot or slx or Mclaneinc or DjayBee are You a potential testers? Maybe you are only a fans? Thank You that is a popular demand sponsored by number "4". Constructive feedback is very informative to get things done, other "things" are obstacles that i have to fight alone...

    I don't have access to real hardware. I'm programmer first then designer second. I got a score above 2700 points in this game. If any fans of this game want a personal fitted controls then if You have a excellent communication skill contact me to be a game tester. For now You have to press controls very lightly.

    There was no one to test the game and game play. One drop in the sea don't make the difference, but when it's rain or storm then maybe.... I don't understand "twitchy" or "reworking the controls". Could You be more specific and detailed? The delay is 200 ms or 4 frames, You want to make it more like 5 or custom from 4-9 for example?

    Hi gamers! The creators of software that helped me to make this game are: Radek "Raster" Sterba for Raster Music Tracker, Tomasz "Tebe" Biela for Mad assembler and Graph2Font, Avery "Phaeron" Lee for Altirra an Atari emulator (game was not tested on real hardware but it works! that how good this emulator is! ), Mark Schmelzenbach and Jakub Husak for EnvisionPC-Reborn 0.8.51 an atari font editor, Magnus Lind for Exomizer 3.0.2. Thank You software developers! Also thanks to: Zdeněk "PG" Eisenhammer for title and game songs, Petr "FLY" Svoboda for all graphics. For all that like games of this type You can download it here: Dr Sparkz https://atari.panprase.cz/?action=detail&co=6621 https://atari.panprase.cz/download.php?soubor=6621

    Congratulations! Tyrian , The Level Very good game play dynamic! Tak trzymaj Szanti!!! Dziękuję!

    Thanks for answers vbc. So benchmark can be run on atari 8bit and its faster by 106 in the best case (ANTIC as thief disabled) thanks to vbcc6502 compiler and 1,77 Mhz Sally cpu. Today my wooden not so modern cpu have score above 13 millions. This power is wasted on scripts in web browser.... and to derail forum topics.
  13. Estece
    In vbcc6502 archive in examples directory there is maybe older version of this benchmark. Three files: dhry.h,dhry_1.c and dhry_2.c. But readme stated this: "I get about 75 dhrystones/s for cc65 and ~234 for vbcc on C64." How much faster would be the 8bit Atari?

    AltirraCrash.mdmp Altirra64 4.00-test9 Win 7 sp1 x64. Moving memory, console, history and watches window with debugger enabled. I was trying to have console and history at top on memory and watches widow but it crashed. Thanks for memory variable row size feature. How to clear watches attached to main display screen ?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhrystone source:https://homepages.cwi.nl/~steven/dry.c Is it possible to run this on Atari? Not in assembler but maybe in other languages like: action, mad pascal, fast basic,basic, gcc6502, vbcc,turbo basic,quick and effectus ?

    I don't like this game. I like music in this game. I do like what great work You have done!!! SIXTY screens of hand work fitted in 62kb is enormous effort!!! Music and sound effects also thanks to You got in there. WOW!!! Congratulations!!!

    I'm looking for pdf or any electronic format of this book.Can someone help? https://www.atarimagazines.com/creative/v9n10/320_Computers_for_sea_amp_s.php

    Program is based on mads math\fmulu16x16.asm . Press START to exit. counter 2 chars counts products A 5 chars (40 bits signed int) at random from $D014 B 5 chars (40 bits signed int) at random from $D014 PRODUCT 10 chars (80 bits signed int) of A*B It is multiplication program. It stops after 1 second. 6502c can do 570-675 40x40 muls per second without loss of precision. It beats 34 year old "ENIAC" but only in asm! fmul_40x40s.xex
  19. Estece
    Thank You for all this great information and response. I read about "ENIAC" and in 1946 this machine had 10-digit number as word in it's architecture. I think number was represented as integer in decimal format 0-9 10 places and sign. It had 20 registers and a multiply and divide in hardware at 100kHz. One instruction takes 20 cycles. It can do 352 muls per second. I was curious if 6502c can beat this old technology.
  20. Estece
    It can be done in any coding language but i think assembly will be fastest. I'm looking for solution that is faster than ATARI basic which is 50-80 muls per sec and it have loss of precision :( How many times per second can 6502c multiply 10-digit number by 10-digit number without a loss of precision?
  21. Estece
    I understand what i typed. It's too hard for You to write better.Your example is absolute different case that not use absolute keyword I will stop nitpicking and code in mads like You do when You wrote mod player example. Mod example will not compile on x86. Good luck with maintaining mad pascal to people that will care about it
  22. Estece
    Thanks Tebe for better generation of code for 6502 Baby steps in great direction of faster code !!! I don't see whole assembly optimization because of 'sta TMP' then 'lda TMP' yet Why ? var tmp:byte; hwscroll:^byte absoulute $d404; hwscroll^:=tmp; generate : mwa HWSCROLL bp2 ldy #$00 lda TMP sta (bp2),y when : var tmp:byte; hwscroll:byte absolute $d404; hwscroll:=tmp; gives : mva TMP HWSCROLL I care more about faster code on Atari XL than compatibility of mad pascal with x86. This is silly for me and it's slows down generated code Yes i can code in mads but i like pascal Do You want me to stop nitpicking?

    Dziękuje Shanti77 Can You describe it little more ? How a one frame looks like in the code and what display list and interrupts bosconian use ? Do You use double buffer for screen display in mode 4? Great that You use powerful instructions on 65 XE! That is the only way to use that hardware to the maximum. Mr.Fish and others ,please don't derail this topic.This forum is like junkyard with trash here and there that is not on topic and nobody cares to clean that up. I like good work that Shanti77 do and want a detailed and technical info on software sprites in practical and good software on real hardware

    When i compiled a jgp_engine.pas it generated an unoptimized code ; optimize OK (..\jgp\jgp_engine.pas), line = 41 lda A and #$7F sta STACKORIGIN+10 asl STACKORIGIN+10 lda STACKORIGIN+10 sta TMP ; optimize OK (..\jgp\jgp_engine.pas), line = 42 lda TMP ora #$01 sta W+1 lda TMP sta W Can You do a optimization pass on the whole generated mads assembly ? Maybe this can be of any use to You : http://hitmen.c02.at/files/cc65/opt65.c Keep up the good work and i hope that mads and mad pascal can produce the fastest code on the atari 65 xe in the world
  25. Estece
    Can You write how Your bosconian sprite engine works and if yes then please, post a wall of text?
