well beyond small optimization tricks are there any major flaws in the design of my routine? I was hoping for more structural advice or methods of writing the sprite data to the screen buffer. Any help? Spencer: I listed where all the important variables were contained in the registers. HL contains ...

If by direct input you mean IN's and OUT's then yeah I'm using it. And I don't plan on using the ION libraries.

Does my code look pretty good or does anybody know a much better way of doing this?

ASM sprite routine stuff

Alright so I started doing asm yadda yadda. And I really just want to do graphics stuff with it so I'm jumping right into programming a sprite routine. Alright so I tried my hand at just displaying sprites and having them move without clipping but with overlapping on bytes, but my routine just seems...

alright well I can take out the little dot in the middle of each corner to make it more obvious and see if that's any better.

By the way, did anyone figure out how I can get do a romdump that actually works on one of the emulators so I can mess around in asm?

Well I don't know Z80 asm at the moment but I'm trying to learn. I have a decent knowledge of pretty general asm and hardware too so I'll just need to figure out the Z80 specifics. If I can do that and have the motivation, I might, but like you said, the speed is good so there might not be enough be...

Yeah I did that and I get nothing. Is there some other way to get the ROM image off your calc other than VTI?

they are included. This may be off topic but I'll ask here instead of starting a new thread. I was thinking about doing some asm work now that I actually know a thing or two about computers, but for some reason I can get VTI to work. I do the ROM dump but it won't run anything. I just get a calculat...

Ok so here's a test run. Let me know if you guys see anything wrong. There's no medium puzzle so just try out easy and hard. If you find any bugs let me know. The final will have more base puzzles (maybe 2 or 3 for each lvl) and it'll just be one program. https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ssartell/SUDOKU.8X...

Hey Kozak! Yeah, missing in action. I've been working towards a career in math and computer science I guess. That's more or less consumed my life and computer skills, but I tinker here and there with my calc still and I really enjoyed messing with sudoku so the two clicked I guess. It's was great to...

Actually the game is already 98% done really. I have to add a few more base puzzles and a few tiny things here and there but other than that it's done. The items I mentioned in my initial post are all done. Hey MissingIntellect! Yeah, it's been a while since I was MIA. Any revolutionary things happe...
