thats not part of the routine FallenGhost that is why it doesn't count I only have one ionfastcopy in all my source. Also I still am working on The Massacre.

I know you call it 1 time in your program, but what I mean is that every frame, you call fastcopy, and that call is 50kT. May it be or not in the routine, I don't care, that'S what it uses to refresh the screen everytime. So don't be afraid of 30 000T (but maybe optimizations could be made).

o ok I see what you saying

Jon · « **Reply #18 on:** February 11, 2007, 02:43:00 pm »

I noticed that you don't use the left-hand 2 bytes or the right-hand 2 bytes, just the middle 8 bytes of plotsscreen. You could get some T-states saved if you made a custom fastcopy routine that only copied those 8 bytes.

later on I will need the full screen copied

Jon · « **Reply #20 on:** February 11, 2007, 02:55:00 pm »

Ah. But if the stuff you will be adding is not dynamic, and only changes some of the time, then it will still be worthwhile to use a faster version. But if those 4 unused bytes will be dynamic, then you might as well just use fastcopy.

Halifax · « **Reply #21 on:** February 11, 2007, 03:18:00 pm »

Yes they will be dynamic

Here is an image of the pause function which I have to say is pretty sweet

wow, that's really nice. Can't wait for those updates

Halifax · « **Reply #24 on:** February 14, 2007, 10:53:00 am »

Also I will be porting Galactic to 86 with the help of Jon and possibly I will port it to 82 and 85 on my own

trevmeister66 · « **Reply #25 on:** February 14, 2007, 10:56:00 am »

what about the 89?

bfr · « **Reply #26 on:** February 14, 2007, 11:16:00 am »

I could take care of that.

Halifax · « **Reply #27 on:** February 14, 2007, 11:42:00 am »

hey bfr maybe we could talk cause I was considering that but I didn't want to annouce it and get people's hopes up and then not port it. So get your tuckus on IRC.

Note: I am actually learning 68K assembly so I could help you too. To an extent of course.

Sweet! I can't wait for more updates and a possible 89 extension. BTW. Will there be more than one enemy on the screen?

Halifax · « **Reply #29 on:** February 14, 2007, 12:09:00 pm »

It's a definite possiblity. There may be one CPU helping the CPU and one helping the player. OMG did I just spill a cheat.
