DrawSpriteA (TI-OS Values) #

real(4,0,X,Y,WIDTH,HEIGHT,XOFFSET,YOFFSET,TRANSINDEX,UPDATELCD,PICINDEXSTART,PICINDEX0,PICINDEX1…etc):
X = x value
Y = y value
WIDTH = width of sprite in 8x8 chunks (an 8x8 sprite is 1, 16x16 is 2, 12x12 is also 2 etc)
HEIGHT = height of sprite in 8x8 chunks (an 8x8 sprite is 1, 16x16 is 2, 12x12 is also 2 etc)
XOFFSET = offset for x value
YOFFSET = offset for y value
TRANSINDEX = transparent colour index, any colour in the sprite that matches this will be drawn transparent (0-255)
UPDATELCD = 0/1 to update LCD after drawing
PICINDEXSTART = pic index to start drawing from (in following list)
PICINDEX0 = pic index in sprite data sheet

Note that sprites are drawn from 8x8 chunks (or tiles) and are stored in tile/sprite data appvars that must be loaded into memory before use (see MANAGEPIC). For sprites larger than 8x8 the function takes a list of arguments for each index of the sprite (in 8x8 chunks). The sprites are drawn *column* first:

16x16 sprite list layout:

---------
| 1 | 3 |
---------
| 2 | 4 |
---------

24x24 sprite list layout:

-------------
| 1 | 4 | 7 |
-------------
| 2 | 5 | 8 |
-------------
| 3 | 6 | 9 |
-------------

Example: To draw an 8x8 sprite at 32,32 with a pic index of 155 that has a transparent colour index of 248:

real(4,0,32,32,1,1,248,1,0,155

Example: To draw a 16x16 sprite at 32,32 with a pic index list of 12,13,14,15 that has a transparent colour index 248:

real(4,0,32,32,2,2,248,1,0,12,13,14,15

You can use the PICINDEXSTART argument to specify which sprite to draw out of a list of sprites. This can be useful for drawing a differen sprite depending on a direction variable. For example drawing an 8x8 sprite where pic index 10=up, 11=down, 12=left & 13=right, and you have a direction variable “A” which holds 0=up, 1=down, 2=left & 3=right you can do:

real(4,0,32,32,1,1,248,1,A,10,11,12,13

This will select index 10 if A=0, 11 if A=1, 12 if A=2 & 13 if A=3 and so on.

DrawSpriteB (Uservar Values) #

real(4,1,USERVAR_X,USERVAR_Y,WIDTH,HEIGHT,XOFFSET,YOFFSET,TRANSINDEX,UPDATELCD,PICINDEXSTART,PICINDEX0,PICINDEX1…etc):
X = x value
Y = y value
WIDTH = width of sprite in 8x8 chunks (an 8x8 sprite is 1, 16x16 is 2, 12x12 is also 2 etc)
HEIGHT = height of sprite in 8x8 chunks (an 8x8 sprite is 1, 16x16 is 2, 12x12 is also 2 etc)
XOFFSET = offset for x value
YOFFSET = offset for y value
TRANSINDEX = transparent colour index, any colour in the sprite that matches this will be drawn transparent (0-255)
UPDATELCD = 0/1 to update LCD after drawing
PICINDEXSTART = pic index to start drawing from (in following list)
PICINDEX0 = pic index in sprite data sheet

See above, the only difference is that it will reference user variables for x/y.

DrawSpriteList8x8A (TIOS Values) #

real(4,2,LISTCOUNT,XOFFSET,YOFFSET,TRANSINDEX,UPDATELCD,X0,Y0,PICINDEX0,X1,Y1,PICINDEX1…etc:
LISTCOUNT = number of sprites in list
XOFFSET = offset for x value
YOFFSET = offset for y value
TRANSINDEX = transparent colour index, any colour in the sprite that matches this will be drawn transparent (0-255)
UPDATELCD = 0/1 to update LCD after drawing
X0 = x value for 1st sprite in list
Y0 = y value for 1st sprite in list
PICINDEX0 = pic index for 1st sprite in list

This function draws a list of 8x8 sprites (max 32 sprites per call).

EXAMPLE: To draw 3 sprites at (10,10),(20,20),(30,30) with pic indicies 12,14,16 with a transparent index of 248:

real(4,2,3,0,0,248,1,10,10,12,20,20,14,30,30,16

DrawSpriteList8x8B (Uservar Values) #

real(4,3,LISTCOUNT,XOFFSET,YOFFSET,TRANSINDEX,UPDATELCD,X0,Y0,PICINDEX0,X1,Y1,PICINDEX1…etc:
LISTCOUNT = number of sprites in list
XOFFSET = offset for x value
YOFFSET = offset for y value
TRANSINDEX = transparent colour index, any colour in the sprite that matches this will be drawn transparent (0-255)
UPDATELCD = 0/1 to update LCD after drawing
X0 = x value for 1st sprite in list
Y0 = y value for 1st sprite in list
PICINDEX0 = pic index for 1st sprite in list

This function is the same as above but it takes USERVAR values for X0,Y0,X1,Y1 etc

DrawSpriteTileBGA (TIOS Values) #

real(4,4,X,Y,WIDTH,HEIGHT,XOFFSET,YOFFSET,TRANSINDEX,UPDATELCD,MAPWIDTH,MAPSTRING:
X = x value
Y = y value
WIDTH = width of sprite in 8x8 chunks (an 8x8 sprite is 1, 16x16 is 2, 12x12 is also 2 etc)
HEIGHT = height of sprite in 8x8 chunks (an 8x8 sprite is 1, 16x16 is 2, 12x12 is also 2 etc)
XOFFSET = offset for x value
YOFFSET = offset for y value
TRANSINDEX = transparent colour index, any colour in the sprite that matches this will be drawn transparent (0-255)
UPDATELCD = 0/1 to update LCD after drawing
MAPWIDTH = width of tilemap
MAPSTRING = string variable holding tilemap data (0-10)

This function will draw the tiles for width*height at a specific sprite coordinate. The resultant tiles will be aligned to the map (it will only draw at intervals of 8-pixels). This is useful for restoring a tilemap background that has been overwritten by a sprite

DrawSpriteTileBGB (Uservar Values) #

real(4,5,X,Y,WIDTH,HEIGHT,XOFFSET,YOFFSET,TRANSINDEX,UPDATELCD,MAPWIDTH,MAPSTRING:
X = x value
Y = y value
WIDTH = width of sprite in 8x8 chunks (an 8x8 sprite is 1, 16x16 is 2, 12x12 is also 2 etc)
HEIGHT = height of sprite in 8x8 chunks (an 8x8 sprite is 1, 16x16 is 2, 12x12 is also 2 etc)
XOFFSET = offset for x value
YOFFSET = offset for y value
TRANSINDEX = transparent colour index, any colour in the sprite that matches this will be drawn transparent (0-255)
UPDATELCD = 0/1 to update LCD after drawing
MAPWIDTH = width of tilemap
MAPSTRING = string variable holding tilemap data (0-10)

This function is the same as above but references user variables instead of tios values

DrawSpriteCheckCollisionA (TIOS VALUES, DCSE8.1) #

**real(4,6,COUNT,X,Y,W,H,CX0,CY0,CW0,CH0….CXn,CYn,CWn,CHn
** COUNT = number of coordinates to check against
X = master X to test list of coordinates against
Y = master Y to test list of coordinates against
W = master W to test list of coordinates against
H = master H to test list of coordinates against
CX0 = first X to test against master X
CY0 = first Y to test against master Y
CW0 = first W to test against master W
CH0 = first H to test against master H
CXn = nth X to test against master X
CYn = nth Y to test against master Y
CWn = nth W to test against master W
CHn = nth H to test against master H
nth should be equal to COUNT

This function will test the rectangular coordinates specified by the ‘master X,Y,W,H’ against each iteration of rectangular coordinates from CX0,CY0,CW0,CH0 to CXn,CYn,CWn,CHn and will return

0 or 1 in Ans where 0 = no collision between the ‘master set’ and the list and 1 = a collision with at least 1 set is found A list of collided coordinate indexes in the user-defined ‘real list’ “XL” in the format:

{TOTAL_COORDS_COLLIDED,INDEX0…INDEXn} Where:
TOTAL_COORDS_COLLIDED = total number of rectangular indexes in the call that collide with the ‘master set’
INDEX0 = first index where 0 = the rectangular coordinates [CX0,CY0,CW0,CH0] and n would equal the [CX0,CY0,CW0,CH0]
Note that user-define list “XL” is overwritten if it already exists

For example

Rectangles at:

X = 10
Y = 10
W = 8
H = 8
Tested against others where:

X = 15
Y = 15
W = 8
H = 8
X = 48
Y = 32
W = 16
H = 16
X = 8
Y = 0
W = 64
H = 16
The call would be: real(4,6,3,10,10,8,8,15,15,8,8,48,32,16,16,8,0,64,16
And the result would be:
Ans = 1
XL = {1,2,0,2
Ans=1 = collision found
{1 = collision found (would be 0 if no collisions occured)
2 = number of collisions found
0 = collision with index 0
2 = collision with index 2
Index 1 is the square for which there was no collision.

You can check if there is a collision by using:
If Ans
If LXL(1)
Or by a similar method.

DrawSpriteCheckCollisionB (USERVAR VALUES, DCSE8.1) #

real(4,7,COUNT,X,Y,W,H,CX0,CY0,CW0,CH0….CXn,CYn,CWn,CHn
COUNT = number of coordinates to check against
X = master X to test list of coordinates against (uservar)
Y = master Y to test list of coordinates against (uservar)
W = master W to test list of coordinates against (uservar)
H = master H to test list of coordinates against (uservar)
CX0 = first X to test against master X (uservar)
CY0 = first Y to test against master Y (uservar)
CW0 = first W to test against master W (uservar)
CH0 = first H to test against master H (uservar)
CXn = nth X to test against master X (uservar)
CYn = nth Y to test against master Y (uservar)
CWn = nth W to test against master W (uservar)
CHn = nth H to test against master H (uservar)
This function is the same as above however it takes references to USERVAR values as opposed to values directly.

DrawSpriteSequentialListA (TIOS VALUES, DCSE8.1) #

**real(4,8,X,Y,WIDTH,HEIGHT,XOFFSET,YOFFSET,TRANSINDEX,UPDATELCD,PICINDEXSTART,PICINDEX0
** X = x value
Y = y value
WIDTH = width of sprite in 8x8 chunks (an 8x8 sprite is 1, 16x16 is 2, 12x12 is also 2 etc)
HEIGHT = height of sprite in 8x8 chunks (an 8x8 sprite is 1, 16x16 is 2, 12x12 is also 2 etc)
XOFFSET = offset for x value
YOFFSET = offset for y value
TRANSINDEX = transparent colour index, and colour in the sprite that matches this will be drawn transparent (0-255)
UPDATELCD = 0/1 to update LCD after drawing
PICINDEXSTART = pic index to start drawing from (in following list)
PICINDEX0 = pic index in sprite data sheet
This function will draw a sprite that of any size as per the same fashion as DRAWSPRITEA with the only difference being that you DONT need to specify each PICINDEX for a largesprite, rather you only need to specify the FIRST PICINDEX. This means that your 8x8 sprite chunks will need to follow each other in your TILEPIC in SEQUENTIAL ORDER. The makeup of a large sprite is the same:

16x16 sprite list layout:\

---------
| 1 | 3 |
---------
| 2 | 4 |
---------

24x24 sprite list layout:\

-------------
| 1 | 4 | 7 |
-------------
| 2 | 5 | 8 |
-------------
| 3 | 6 | 9 |
-------------

For both of the above you only need to specifiy the PICINDEX ‘1’ (along with appropriate WIDTH/HEIGHT ETC) to draw.

The advantage is that you save space in BASIC code, speed of execution and you can maximise the space in your TILEPICS. The drawback is that the layout of sprites requires more work when creating your TILEPICS.

You can use the PICINDEXSTART argument to have largesprite ‘frames’ as each PICINDEX you supply will be the STARTING INDEX for each frame so having:
real(4,8,10,10,2,2,0,0,248,1,0,10,20

Will draw a 16x16 sprite with the 4 ‘8x8 chunks’ starting at INDEX 10 (10,11,12,13). If you change the PICINDEXSTART argument to 1 then the 16x16 sprite will be made up of the 4 ‘8x8 chunks’ starting at INDEX 20 (20,21,22,23).

DrawSpriteSequentialListB (USERVAR VALUES, DCSE8.1) #

**real(4,9,USERVAR_X,USERVAR_Y,WIDTH,HEIGHT,XOFFSET,YOFFSET,TRANSINDEX,UPDATELCD,PICINDEXSTART,PICINDEX0

This function is the same as above however it takes references to internal USERVARS as opposed to values directly\

DrawSpriteTileBGListA (TIOS VALUES, DCSE8.1) #

**real(4,10,LISTCOUNT,LISTWIDTH,HEIGHT,XOFFSET,YOFFSET,TRANSINDEX,UPDATELCD,MAPWIDTH,MAPSTRING,X0,Y0…Xn,Yn
** LISTCOUNT = number of tiles in list
WIDTH = width of sprite in 8x8 chunks (an 8x8 sprite is 1, 16x16 is 2, 12x12 is also 2 etc)

MAPSTRING = string variable holding tilemap data (0-10)
X0 = first X value to draw tile at
Y0 = first Y value to draw tile at
Xn = last X value to draw tile at
Yn = last Y value to draw tile at
This function will draw the tiles for width*height at the sprite coordinate listed from X0,Y0 to Xn,Yn. The resultant tiles will be aligned to the map (it will only draw at intevals of 8-pixels). This is useful for restoring a tilemap background that has been overwritten by a list of sprites. As mentioned this function is the same as DRAWSPRITETILEBG just with a list.

Xn = last X value to draw tile at (uservar 0-255)
Yn = last Y value to draw tile at (uservar 0-255)
This function is the same as above how it takes references to internal USERVARS as opposed to direct values in the call
