November/!Balls/Tools/DataGen

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

   20REM Purpose: convert a specific sprite into a form suitable
   30REM for fast plotting.
   40REM
   50REM Format of new data is as follows:
   60REM Assume image dimensions are 20x16 pixels, 8bpp.
   70REM Scanning image across rows, top to bottom, store image as
   80REM pixel data block then mask block.
   90REM Require that data for pixels which are masked is stored as 0
  100REM & that mask bits are set to indicate solidity (ie the
  110REM standard sprite mask value),
  120REM so that we may write sprite to screen via:
  130REM screen_pixel = (screen_pixel BIC sprite_mask) OR sprite_pixel.
  140REM This requires 20*16*2 bytes storage.
  150REM Follow this by 3 further copies of the same data, each
  160REM scrolled right by one additional pixel.
  170REM This permits the plotting code to use only word aligned read
  180REM & write operations for speed, whilst still being able to write
  190REM the image to screen at any pixel alignment.
