operating sys. and calc type are cool and all, but do we really need to see those? it just wastes memory. look up in the upper right corner for the 83+ or se. you probably downloaded the current os so you should know what version it is. i know i dont exatcly have a bunch of room on my calc. every byte counts

Heh don't worry, those are all being removed. The only things the Settings Menu will Display is a contrast adjuster, Interrupt Frequency Adjustment, Free Ram, and Free ROM.

The others were some tests.

will the contract adjustment be set just for the game, and stored in the appvar? or will it be set globally?

Justin W. · Posted: 18 Nov 2003 07:27:26 pm Post subject:

I think it will be kept as a local change and then be reset to the calc's original system contrast setting upon exiting the application, and yes the contrast setting is stored into an appvar and restored everytime you start the game up.

in asm in 28 days it says to change the contrast:
ld a,$EE ;$EE is value, between $C0 and $FF
out ($10),a

is this correct?

Justin W. · Posted: 19 Nov 2003 01:08:28 am Post subject:

To keep it simple, I use a little bit different setup for changing the contrast.

If you wanted to make a permanent change to the systwm contrast you would do the following.

The calculator's system contrast value is stored at (8447h).

The value residing here is between 0 and 27h

The LCD Driver accepts a value between 18h and 3Fh.

so

ld a,(contrast) ;load system contrast
inc a; Make it darker
ld (contrast),a
add a,18h ; add 18h to system contrast value
or C0h ;or it with C0h to get an offset between the values you specified
out ($10),a ;send new contrast setting to the LCD driver

You could use your above value as you said to set the contrast temporarily.

ld a,$EE
out ($10),a

A long answer to a simple question but I thought I'd explain how to set the system contrast.

Basically your statement is true I just look at it from a different perspective.

So, how is this project going right now?

Justin W. · Posted: 09 Jan 2004 07:25:25 pm Post subject:

As of right now, it is on hold for another project I'm working on. I will say that the last time I worked on it I had implemented the new animated Title screen and was beginning to work on the animated settings screen, as well as a faster tilemapping routine than the one I previously used.

Hey when do you estimate it will be released? Any beta testers yet?

Justin W. · Posted: 09 Jan 2004 11:13:59 pm Post subject:

I do not intend on setting a release date as it will get broken. My programming time is limited. I have some beta testers lined up already, when testing is to commence I will post a topic in regards to recruiting more testers.

When you do, send me a PM. I want to beta test.

grr, 2/3 the links are broken. can you post the links to the demo here and the pics?

Justin W. · Posted: 18 Feb 2004 07:23:05 pm Post subject:

That old demo is no longer available and the new one is in the process of being made.

I do not know the links to the pictures as they probably do not exist anymore plus that is Cyan's website so I don't have the links only he would.

Darth Android · Posted: 18 Feb 2004 10:11:00 pm Post subject:

do you still have a copy of the old demo?
plz?
