Re: Hi-Res (Software) Explained ?

Yes, Thank you Mark, that is how i understood it as well. One question came up, is the !REFSN on the back of the ZX81, the same as the !RFSH on the Z80 (i would make sense, except for the confusion it might cause) Then the other thing i was wondering about, downloading some .P from some site, what s...

Re: Hi-Res (Software) Explained ?

Well The Ram-Pack i build consists of a 32K SRam, with Memory avaiable between 4000H & 7FFFH (standard 16K) and between B000H & FFFAH (the other half minus the final 4 addresses that are being used for a 32-bit interface) and because i had been using some logic gates to get the proper signal i used ...

Re: Hi-Res (Software) Explained ?

I am, by now quite confused about all the HiRes, Maybe it is just to much info, although i suspect that part of the reason is that i wasn't into this at the time it was developed, and therefore don't see it step by step.

I don't know the game, and how it is actually set up, but i suspect that the AI creates a virtual map in memory into which it plays possible scenarios, and that for this it has a dedicated memory allocation max size 60x100 and that the positioning is done by increasing jump in memory location by 100...

Re: Zaks book error ?
