Why doesn't my Map Drawer Work?
« on: June 10, 2010, 03:19:22 pm »
Code: [Select]
.TILEMAP
.SPRITES
[003C424242423C00]->Pic10
[00003C3C3C3C0000]->Pic20
.First Is top sprite, second bottom.
.MAP TEST
[00000000]->GDB1
[00000000]
[00000000]
[00000000]
[00000000]
[00000000]
[00000000]
[00000000]
LBL DP
ClrDraw
ClrDrawr
For(y,0,7)
For(X,0,7)
Pt-On(X*8,Y*8,Y*8+X+GDB1*16+Pic10)
Pt-On(X*8,Y*8,Y*8+X+GDB1*16+Pic20)r
Repeat getKey(15)
DispGraphrr
End

This, instead of drawing some nice sprites in an 8x8 grid, Draws Speckly garbage all over the grid. I think it's a problem with my GDB or Pic referencing, but I can't figure out how to fix it. Any help?

in "Y*8+X+GDB1*16+Pic10" are you sure those are the correct order of operations? i'm not completely sure i haven't tested this on my calc yet (programming it in now) but shouldn't it be Y*8+X+GDB1+Pic10? i'll edit this post later.

You're reading from an 8x16 grid.  Don't forget, each hex digit is half a byte.  You need them in pairs unless you're doing half-byte compression.

Yeah, there shouldn't be the *16 to the GDB1. Why'd you put that there, just curious? Also, you're map is 4 bytes wide, so it would be Y*4, not 8...

Well, the order of operations were correct, but I forgot the 2-digit byte rule (again)

the x16 was to get the Pic10 and Pic20 to the correct sprite. So, sprite 0 would be at +0, 1 would be +16 and 3 would be at +48

I changed the map to be 8 by 8 now...I also added {} to GDB1. That's the way to take the value at that location, right? That may have been one of the major issues.

Well, this time it shows the sprite I made at the top corner of the screen, but the rest is still a jumbled mess.

They would be at the correct place without *16... and no, you don't want {} because that argument is a memory location, the routine grabs the value itself.
EDIT: Hold on, never mind, i think your right, except it would be *8, since thats how big the tiles are right? the second part is still an issue tho =P

Well, It certainly did Something different. The scramblings are all now uniform, but I keep getting this weird stairs effect. Here' I'll get a screenshot if I can.

Edit: here's a screenie from my camera. I couldn't get the flash to shut off.

BTW the blue pixels are from the flash.

Edit2: Shrank the image. Sorry about that.

Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
