New cc65 version

[semicolo]

Since Karri was talking about a new cc65 I tried to find some news about it on the official site, but no luck.

 

So when will it be available and what's new in it ?

Not sure, but if you want up-to-date info there are is a list server with info about the package.

 

for information look for the "Mailing List" section of the CC65 main site

You have to get it using the svn command (subversion). And compile the tools by yourself.

 

Currently it supports a new object type called interruptor.

 

This means that if you want to add a routine called by interrupts you just type:

 

.interruptor clock

 

.word time

 

clock:

inc time

rts

 

That's it.

 

If you want to increment it only at every VBL interrupt add

 

clock:

lda INTSET

and #4

beq @L0

inc time

@L0:

rts

 

To the tgi engine I also added new functions:

 

tgi_busy and tgi_updatedisplay

 

if (!tgi_busy()) {

... draw something ...

tgi_updatedisplay();

}

 

These new methods work with IRQ's automatically.

 

There is also a new command

 

tgi_setframerate(75);

 

Possible rates 50, 60, 75 Hz.

 

What I still would like to before the release is to add ComLynx interruptor driver and cart Posix filesystem.
