How do I go about drawing a sprite so that 1s are black and 0s are white? All I need is the basics behind it, no code or anything.

I tried writing my own routine, but as I draw byte by byte, there's either some transparency, or the next byte of pixel data messes up what's in the previous byte of pixel data. I'm trying to duplicate "B_CALL DisplayImage." Oh, and by the way, I don't care if there's a "white square" appearing around the sprite like Ti's DisplayImage. In fact, I'm trying to achieve the same effect with no results.

Can you give a pic of what it is doing, and what you want it to do?

From what I'm reading, I think you just clear the background first, unless I don't understand your post correctly.

Hm... I can give a general ASM tip to help with the messed up pixels problem. (Unless I have misunderstood, of course. Credit for this method, AFAIK, goes to calc84maniac)

Code: [Select]

xor b
and c
xor b

It effectively selects bits from b to put in a.
A set bit in c corresponds to leaving the original corresponding bit in a, and a reset bit corresponds to overwriting that bit in a with b.
For example, if a=%10100110, b=%01101011, and c=%11001101, then the result would be %10100110 in a, with bits 0, 2, 3, 6, and 7 coming from a and bits 1, 4, and 5 coming from b.

So, say this is my sprite routine, which causes messed up pixels:

Code: [Select]

Put_Sprite_Overwrite:
; A = x coordinate
; L = y coordinate
; B = number of rows
; 
; IX = address of sprite
    LD     H, 0
    LD     D, H
    LD     E, L
    ADD    HL, HL
    ADD    HL, DE
    ADD    HL, HL
    ADD    HL, HL

    LD     E, A
    SRL    E
    SRL    E
    SRL    E
    ADD    HL, DE

    LD     DE, plotsscreen
    ADD    HL, DE
   
    
    AND    7
    JR     Z, _AlignedOverwrite

    LD     C, A
    PUSH HL
    LD A, 12
    LD HL, Sprite_Width
    SUB (HL)
    LD D,0
    LD E, A
    POP HL    
    
_RowLoopOverwrite:

    PUSH   BC
    
    ;Stores width into B, which will be decreased 1 by 1 until one row is complete
    LD A, (Sprite_Width)
    LD B, A
    

_ColumnLoopOverwrite:
    PUSH BC 
       
    LD     B, C
    LD     C, (IX)
    XOR    A

_ShiftLoopOverwrite:
    SRL    C
    RRA
  
    DJNZ   _ShiftLoopOverwrite
  

    INC    HL
 
    LD     (HL), A

    DEC    HL
    LD     A, C

    LD     (HL), A

    POP BC
    INC HL
    INC IX
  
    DJNZ _ColumnLoopOverwrite
   
    ADD    HL, DE
   
    POP    BC
    DJNZ   _RowLoopOverwrite
    
    RET

_AlignedOverwrite:
   
    PUSH HL
    LD A, 12
    LD HL, Sprite_Width
    SUB (HL)
    LD D,0
    LD E, A
    POP HL  
     
_PutLoopOverwrite:
    PUSH BC
    LD A, (Sprite_Width)
    LD B, A 

_PutLoopOverwrite2:
    
    LD     A, (IX)
    
    LD     (HL), A
    INC  IX
  
    INC HL
    DJNZ _PutLoopOverwrite2
_PutLoopOverwriteAdd:
    POP BC
    
    ;ADD    HL, DE
    ;DJNZ _PutLoop 
 ADD HL, DE
 DJNZ _PutLoopOverwrite
 RET

What do I plug in for "xor b, and c, xor b"?

This should just work with overwrite routine, shouldn't it?
