Help understanding axe's sprite routine?
« on: September 18, 2015, 03:56:35 pm »
Hello, as you might know, I am fairly new to asm. I would appreciate if someone could explain how an 8*8 sprite routine works, or axe's sprite routine in particular. 

Axe's sprite routine: I would presume that the stack stuff in the middle is just to load the function's params (ie pt-off(x,y,p)) into certain registers.

I've commented the routine. Let me know if you have any other questions.
