Kempston Mouse driver - oblo - 2011-09-04
Hi all
Boriel, how about to integrate this (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0014620">http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseek ... id=0014620</a><!-- m -->) as a library?) Chris said that "You can use this code freely, but I would appreciate a credit!"
Cheers

Well, here is a PoC about using Chris driver in ZX Basic. I can't include the ASM code (the compiler gave me errors) so I use the compiled code directly. The PoC is a MamonoSweeper clone (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hojamaka.com/game/mamono_sweeper/en.html">http://www.hojamaka.com/game/mamono_sweeper/en.html</a><!-- m -->)
Cheers

I will try later. Using Kempston joystick should be pretty strightforward. A simple function could be done IMHO with few INs intructions. Do we really need a "driver" :?: Perhaps this routine adds more high-level logic?

It's not Kempston Joystick, it's Kempston Mouse ;-) And yes, Kempston can be read using only INs but Chri's driver adds a pointer that works pretty good. You can see later when you try the PoC :-)
