Oh, wow, awesome! I cannot believe I didn't see that, that is a source of some of my other optimisations from the original code o.O

Here's a very optimized way to convert a 16-bit signed number into an 8-bit signed number in a with overflow handling (if hl<-128, a=-128; if hl>127, a=127). Two added bonus to being super small and super fast are that it destroys nothing and that you could easily modify it to make the input a 16-bit register other than hl.

Code: [Select]
Signed16To8: ld a,l add a,a sbc a,a sub h ld a,l ret z ld a,h add a,a sbc a,a xor %01111111 ret

Implied challenge accepted!

Code: [Select]

Signed16To8:
	ld a,l
	add a,a
	ld a,h
	adc a,l
	cp l
	ret z
	ld a,$7F
	ret p
	inc a
	ret

Edit: Whoops, misteak

Edit2: This routine is a failure, disregard its failtasticness

Necroedit: For a much better routine, please try the routines at the end of this post!

I created this last night for my next project:

Code: [Select]

PseudoRandWord:
;Outputs:
;     BC was the previous pseudorandom number
;     HL is the pseudorandom number
;f(n+1)=(241f(n)+257) mod 65536   ;65536
;181 cycles, add 17 if called
     ld hl,(randSeed)
     ld c,l
     ld b,h
     add hl,hl
     add hl,bc
     add hl,hl
     add hl,bc
     add hl,hl
     add hl,bc
     add hl,hl
     add hl,hl
     add hl,hl
     add hl,hl
     add hl,bc
     inc h
     inc hl
     ld (randSeed),hl
     ret

There are a few other nice features, too. For example, every 16-bit value is hit if you run this 65536 times. Or, if you only read 1 byte (for example, H from the output), it will hit every 8-bit number once if you run this 256 times. Plus, it can be seeded, which has its own uses. This can be modified to be smaller, too, if you know what you are doing, but I just like the numbers 241 and 257. Anyways, it produces some nice results

P.S.-I used this in a routine called "ShuffleDeck" and it works very well.

chickendude · « **Reply #48 on:** July 04, 2012, 11:19:47 am »

I don't understand the theory behind that algorithm, but you could save a couple clocks with SMC

And is ShuffleDeck a hint at what your next project might be?

Xeda112358 · « **Reply #49 on:** July 09, 2012, 08:08:46 am »

Yes, you can use SMC to save at least 6 cycles for RAM programs

My next mini project is an app with some small games (including card games). I don't have my computer with me, but I will post a working sound routine next time I get a chance.

The way it works is that we are using mod 2¹⁶, so I selected two numbers relatively prime to 65536 (so any odd number, in this case). There are a few other conditions dealing with the Euler phi function, I believe, but I got lucky with the numbers I chose, so I didn't need to look it up. If you check, I chose prime numbers, specifically, because I figured those would give me the best shot.

If you choose the wrong values, you will get cycles of 2ⁿ. I am not sure how familiar you are with group theory, but essentially, you will be creating sub groups and the order (size) of a subgroup will always divide the order of the main group. So some values will make cycles of 32768, 16384, and other smaller powers of 2. (gah, there is so much cool theory behind this, but I don't have much time).

EDIT: ooh, here is a useful routine

Code: [Select]

FindNumPages:
;Inputs:
;     The app base page is loaded in MemBank1
;Outputs:
;     c flag set if the field was found
;     nc means the app header subfield was not found
;     A is the number of app pages
;     B is 0
;     (HL) is the number of app pages

     ld hl,4000h
     ld bc,128
     ld a,c
     or a
FNPLoop:
     cpir
     ret po
     ret nz
     inc a
     cp (hl)
     jr z,$+5
     dec a
     jr FNPLoop
     inc l
     ld a,(hl)
     scf
     ret

I made that to be a faster alternative to using a bcall

Runer112 · « **Reply #50 on:** July 09, 2012, 02:45:26 pm »

Optimized a bit.

The largest optimization was removing end checking, because it's impossible for an application not to have a number of pages field. I also optimized the search loop by rearranging it a bit to remove the unconditional jump.

Code: [Select]

FindNumPages:
;Inputs:
;     The app base page is loaded in MemBank1
;Outputs:
;     A, (HL) is the number of app pages

     ld hl,4000h
     ld a,81h
     ld c,a
FNPLoop:
     dec a
     cpir
     inc a
     cp (hl)
     jr nz,FNPLoop
     inc l
     ld a,(hl)
     ret

There are actually rare cases where that routine could fail. Of course I would assume it will work 99.9% of apps, if someone changed the order of the header and put the time stamp key in front of the number of pages, it could theoretically contain $80, $81.

But, now that I think about it, this is so rare that it will never happen.

calc84maniac · « **Reply #52 on:** July 09, 2012, 04:54:29 pm »

Isn't that routine searching for $80, $81 anyway?

Edit: Oh, I see what you're saying. The time stamp data could contain $80, $81.

You can check out the MirageOS source, but i think it just draws four lines using their line routine.

Oh it should be a filled rect routine

There is a filled rectangle routine in Axe. I don't know where you can see its source code though.

Ah cool thanks. This was a bit off topic I guess

Here is a routine that I started a long time ago (back when I coded only in hex). I have been too lazy to replace the hex code with mnemonics, but it can draw all sorts of rectangle types

I am sure it can be optimised, but it works:

(note, RectData needs to be 24 bytes of free ram. I typically use data in the op registers or cmdshadow, or something like that.)

Code: [Select]

DrawRectToGraph:

;        1 =Black
;        2 =XOR
;        3 =Black border
;        4 =White border
;        5 =XOR border
;        6 =Black border, white inside
;        7 =Black border, XOR inside
;        8 =White border, black inside
;        9 =White border, XOR inside
;        10=Shift Up
;        11=Shift Down
;
;
;        14=pxlTestRect  (returns the number of on pixels in the rectangular region)
;        15=pxlTestBorder (returns the number of on pixels on the border, good for collision detection)
;     B is the height
;     C is the Y pixel coordinate
;     D is the width in pixels
;     E is is the X pixel coordinate
