My first Z80 program

[+SpiceWare]

For my first Coleco project I wanted to figure out how to read the controllers. I've come up with a program that displays an ASCII representation of controllers on screen, along with their input state. I've only tested it via emulation. While the left controller appears to work, the right controller gets different results depending on which emulator I use. Hopefully my Ultimate SD cart will arrive soon so I can test on the real thing!

 

 

 

Source and and updated jEdit mode file are over my blog:

No problem, I find it helps to see other people's source and like to return the favor. I haven't had much luck finding Z80 source for the CV though, just Get Booty and Mist Maid 4K so far as mentioned in my prior blog entry. Everything else I've found is in C which doesn't help me learn Z80

 

My Ultimate SD cart arrived so I was finally able to test on real hardware. There were a few minor issues to correct, and I did some additional changes such as my logo as well as updating the comments and cleaning up the source:

 

just posted a new blog entry with the current source:

I think somewhere here you should find GhostBlaster source code. It is ASM .

 

Thanks for sharing your code!

Thanks for the tip, I found GhostBlaster's source on newcoleco's site. Impressive game, don't think I've see anything look that good on the Coleco before.
