hmm yes clipped will be supported. And yes they were made from scratch and the number of loops it goes through is the rows of the sprite and the offset of the sprite. I consider this as fast minus a little as ionputsprite.

EDIT: What is up with this. I disabled the interrupts and put all the inputs in correctly (the routine was using iy) and it crashed the calc. I changed iy to ix+8 temporarily and it worked fine???? I had interrupts disabled what is up?? Fallen_Ghost?

Double post for an update:

Ok this is my masked sprite routine. I really didn't feel like making anything extravagant. But keep in mind this is calling bcall(_clrscrnfull) before ever move! So that gives you an idea of how fast the routine is.

Halifax, the reason why the calc crashes with iy is because the TI-Os uses it for all it's flags, so you better not modify it unless you make the code remember to what address it was pointing.

Here is my version of 16*n masked putsprite (based on my 16*n putsprite and 8*n masked), using the same inputs as my 8*n masked putsprite. But also using AF' regs

that's wierd because I have used iy before without repointing it back and it never crashed the calc.

Well, it creates a possiblity of crashing.  Maybe if you use iy without restoring it and then change a mode settings (or something like that), then your calculator will probably either crash or just not function correctly.

Leo wants to know what the estimated ETA is until NextGen is complete.

When you say leo do you mean leofox??
And when you say EFA I am guessing something with the release data??

So I will tell you this the first release should be within 6 months or less. Somewhere around there for me to get everything I want in there for now. And then I can begin additions. The main thing is library development that takes long. I am trying to make evreything as optimized as possible and that means writing multiple routines and finding the tstates and then testing and debugging and so on... and then it makes it to the final library!

Also I am writing an html documentation along with it.

No, I meant Leo (and two others) at my school.

I've found that the best option is to simply back it up in the stack.  It is the same number of bytes each way, since ld iy,xxxx is 4 bytes, and push iy/pop iy are 2 bytes each.  Also, then it allows the user to store iy for something else (if they were in an IM 2 ISR, they might not want iy to be set back to the flags).

There's a program called GetDataBack.  The bad part is that it's not free -- eauch! -- so if you want it and want to unlock the recovery feature, you're gonna have to get it the evil way via BitTorrent (Demonoid probably still has it)...

It's the only recovery tool that has worked very well for me.  I'm sure there's a free one that is just as good somewhere but I haven't found it yet...

Suggestion to Insanity: Look at the date. :lol:bounce2.gif

Nice one Halifax, but it was a bit far-fetched.

Look at the bottom right, it says "Windows Vista Evaluation Copy". Methinks you took a picture from the internet and used GIMP to change it.

Or if this isn't true, post another picture tomorrow when it isn't April 1st.
