Hi
We are writing an engine (sprites, tiles, maps) and I would like to interface with ZX Basic. The main thread is here (sorry, it's in spanish)
http://www.mojontwins.com/mojoniaplus/vi...f=9&t=1461
Now the engine is in alpha stage and there is a SDCC working demo. This is the code:
My idea is to traslate this code to ZX Basic. The engine set ups a runtime enviroment that leave between 24K and 30K bytes free from $8000 address. Basically there are 2 routines to call: INIT to initialize the engine and FRAME, that put all the stuff in the screen every frame. With this engine you can move between 8 and 16 sprites flicker free at 50fps in 48K and all 128K models. The engine has diferent implementation for each machine (floating bus in 48K, shadow screen in 128K) so the comunication is done by accessing to next memory locations:
More info in the first message of the linked thread

Buenas, estamos escribiendo un engine de sprites, tiles y mapas y me gustaría poder usar dicho engine con ZX Basic. En el hilo que enlazo arriba está todo explicado en español. No tengo mucha idea sobre ZX Basic, pero veo que hay una comunidad detrás y me gustaría que me ayudaran a traducir la demo de C a Basic.
Saludos
