Changelog

Color syntax: Planned, Implemented, Cancelled/postponed

• Systems
  • ♦Basic Commodore PET support (no specific methods yet)
  • ♦Fledgeling Amiga 500 (Motorola 68K) support:
    • ♦IDE / assembler
    • ♦Basic 1-5 bitplanes image support (+export)
    • ♦M68000  compiler support (40% implemented)
    • ♦M68000 built-in methods support (15% implemented)
• Fjong raytracer
  • ♦New document type .fjo implemented. Fjong files are lua scripts that initialize an update a scene that is ray-traced realtime (CPU).
  • ♦Fjong saving and compression for those sweet sweet 6502 demo effects
  • ♦Fjong tutorials and examples
• Compiler:
  • Getbit finally fixed
  • if (.. AND / OR ..) optimizations
  • Integer arrays, optimizations
  • VIC 20 methods
  • Tons of bugfixes and updates
  • ♦Assembler .asm files can now be compiled directly
  • ♦OrgAsm tests for duplicate symbols. Parser also double-checks for symbol duplicates.
  • ♦Minor OrgAsm bugfixes
  • ♦Multiple source files project build settings
  • ♦memcpyfast (for <127 byte copying), memcpyunrolled for those fixed-size chunks
  • ♦Motorola 68000 support
  • ♦Possible to define variables / constants with expression array[320*200] of byte; also using preprocessor directives
  • ♦Several optimizations and lesser bugfixes
  • ♦Preprocessor method @startassembler ” lda #00″ etc lets you insert user-defined assembly code directly after program load address and before any TRSE code is executed.
  • Krills loader tinycrunch support: KrillLoadCompressed added
  • ♦CopyFullScreen can take pointers or addresses or a mix
  • ♦Zeropage pointers can now be assigned in a much better way:
    • zp:=zp+40;
    • zp:=$0400 + 40*y;
    • zp:=data + 80*y;
    • zp:=zp-40;
  • ♦Integer & zeropage pointers simple assigning a:=a+/-b optimization
  • ♦Fixed bug with bitand/bitor (&/|) not being treated as binary operations, so that expression as a:=1+b&3; became incorrect.
  • ♦Changed 8×8 bit multiplication to *not* use self-modified code (due to NES only having prg ROM, not RAM)
  • ♦Optimized expressions like “c:=a+b*2” to always be “c:=b*2+a”, enable even further binop optimizations where right-hand side of equation is simple number / variable. About 1-2% code reduction.
  • ♦Added method RightBitShift(address, number of chars) for right-shifting N chars 1 bit (with carry)
• IDE
  • Wavefront .obj 3D file to amiga format converter (under tools menu)
  • Amiga image type (320×200)
  • Pico 8 image type & colors
  • Custom palette + palette editor + export to 12-bit Amiga format
  • Bitmap Font Generator (load system truetype, render to image cells (for amiga font usage)). Located in the image “import” dialoge.
  • ♦Export charset-compressed multicolor images as screen data + charset data.
  • ♦Help text updated
  • While painting, press 0-9 to set colors, press shift+(0-9) for colors 10-19
  • ♦Individual character is updated while drawing  charsets
  • ♦TinyCrunch D64 settings and D64 implementation
  • ♦Support for overriding default .prg settings:
    • Start address
    • Stripping .prg 2 byte header
    • No basic SYS start
  • ♦Vice auto injection support. Duh.
  • ♦Fixed a bug when creating a new animation document. Was fixed to 20×19 chars, now possible to have any size.
  • ♦Tons of bugfixes in the image / level editor! (0.06.2)
•  Tutorials:
  • ♦Fjong tutorials
  • ♦Entire Purple Planet Yo VIC-20 demo project source included
  • VIC20 Nibbler tutorial game project by Andy H.
