Assembler inc instruction a bit confusion.

[JamesD]

Just checked Wikipedia for RISC. FJC was on the money. Here is a quote from the article:

 

That was what I referenced in post 19.

 

*edit*

FWIW, "RISC" chips now include instruction that take more than a single clock cycle.

They compensate by adding deeper pipelines and out of order execution.

Some of the floating point instructions are a good example.

Yes The x register is easier but its an advanced loop im already using the x and y register and need the accumulator for a third control instance, ok il try to make my loop work now, thank you.

You can push and pull values (A/X/Y) to and from the stack (TXA/PHA,PLA/TAX etc) but I found it easier (developing Ramp Rage) to setup variables like counter "CTR" in your example. I didn't use the stack at all in the end. I found it useful to setup several "temp" locations which I used for transient calculations so they could be re-used in different areas to save a few bytes.
