There is a small offering to would be but havn't got a clue how to
start gem programmers, on this menu. It may not be the best of coding standards
but at least it works! As I am new to gem programming myself (find all other
ways of doing it, before resorting to gem, is my motto), you may find it a good
starting place. It also does a job. It may not be that useful to most of you,
but I have needed to use it on a menu source, where I converted some grafix
information from binary (it had to be in source to put in the lables).
What do you lot think of our menus' then let's hear about it! If you
are a lame menu number collector (you won't be reading this I suppose, oh well,
I'm saying it anyway), then DON'T collect our menus' anymore, as we all put lot
of work into making sure our stuff is 100% (most of the time), and the very
best we possibly could do. If you don't appreciate the efforts gone into doing
them don't keep 'em, as I'm fed up with these wankers that don't play our games
(it's the reason we do them you know). Guido was a prime example of a wanker
wanna be like him????
By the way if you don't like some of our games on a menu, but want to
keep others, tuff shit, as it is very likely that the games won't work by just
dragging the files, be warned. This is the way of life.
This doc is a suppliment to the scroller, as I've now packed it all and
only found one problem with JPMs' menu, on LAWS machine (knackered tos) the
LOADING message was corrupt, as I didn't have time to sort it out before
uploading today (in about an hour and a half), I decided to take it out, sorry
mate.. The rest was ok though, not bad for a menu "ready to go" is it, over 6
bleeding hours to get it nearly right!
Some of you out there seem to be unaware of movem's (JPM). Well ok, you
know how to use them, but you don't seem to know that you can use the (pc)
relative with them e.g. movem.l piccy+2(pc),d0-d7 is perfectly ok (well it is
if you've got a lable called piccy anyway). Also (for JPMs' benefit) all
hardware registers can use the .w mode e.g. $ff8240, and $fffa07 can be worded
to $ffff8240.w, and $fffffa07.w, just add two f's on the front. I'm sure you
already knew this mate, but why didn't you use it then? I saved over 20k from
that menu by optimising it properly. More squinny's for JPM include, why did
you put a keyboard routine on a vbl, then kill off $118???? Why did you take
over the vbl at $70, then jump to the rom vbl???? Why did you fill up the
border with grafix shit (that had me guessing for ages, just imagine with the
pic you supplied, the border was clean, but the pic I used produced some shit
in the border that was out of the scroll area. Took me bloody ages to find why
it was pefect with your picture and producing shit in the border with mine.
That little bugget took the best part of my sanity. Why did you only scroll
32X29 instead of 23X32? The font was 32X32 and the bottom of the scroll was
missing! Take a good look your scroller, as you always seem to be doing it,
and it's a real bastard to get running.
Well that seems to be my squinny over (had to get it out of my system
you know), and I can't think of anything else to say now, so I'm going.
Genie.
