+Cafeman Posted December 29, 2001 Author Share Posted December 29, 2001 Just to have some kind of closure to this thread, I think I understand why I was confused. there is no difference between having these two equates -- code: WhichLevel = $50 ; where WhichLevel will ; have values of 0,1,2,3 Joy_Down = $50 ; where the value of #$50 ; will be checked literally ---- it's all in how you use these two equates. You'd have a statement like this for WhichLevel -- code: lda #$01 sta WhichLevel ; byte at mem location $50 would store ;literal value of #$01 But you'd use a "#" to literally check for a #$50 when using Joy_down -- code: lda Pot0 cmp Joy_down beq RoutineX I originally was thinking in a different sense that how 6502 ASM compilers think, I guess. Thanks Calimari and everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBoris Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 This may have just been a typo, since you seem to have the idea: cmp joy_down should have beeb cmp #joy_down Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted December 30, 2001 Author Share Posted December 30, 2001 Yes Dan, it was a typo. It should have 'beeb' #Joy_down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
