Setup: DrawCanopy

Name: DrawCanopy [Show more] Type: Subroutine Category: Setup Summary: Move code around, clear the edges of the canopy view, draw the canopy edges and rivets, and jump to the main code
Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code References: This subroutine is called as follows: * SetupScreen calls DrawCanopy
.DrawCanopy LDA #140 \ Call OSBYTE with A = 140 to select the tape filing JSR OSBYTE \ system (i.e. do a *TAPE command) LDY #0 \ We now copy the following block in memory: \ \ * &0400-&07FF is copied to &0D00-&10FF \ \ so we set up a byte counter in Y \ \ Note that this is the same block that was copied from \ &5800-&5BFF by the Entry routine, so in all we end up \ moving code as follows: \ \ * &5800-&5BFF is copied to &0400-&07FF \ then to &0D00-&10FF \ * &5C00-&5DFF is copied to &0B00-&0CFF \ \ As the rest of the main code file runs from &1100 to \ &57FF, this gives us a continuous block of code from \ &0B00 to &57FF, followed by screen memory at &5800 to \ &7FFF .dcan1 LDA &0400,Y \ Copy the Y-th byte of &0400 to the Y-th byte of &0D00 STA &0D00,Y LDA &0500,Y \ Copy the Y-th byte of

bytes per row, or 32 of the \ 40 character blocks in each screen row (128 pixels) JSR ClearRows \ Call ClearRows to clear the first 256 bytes of the \ first two character rows on-screen, which blanks

We now draw the edges of the canopy view, starting \ with the left edge, then the right edge, and then the \ horizontal line along the top (so this does not \ include the bottom edge, which has

next rivet until Y = 9, at which BNE dcan2 \ point Y has wrapped round off the top of the screen \ back to the bottom and we will have drawn three rivets \ up each side of the canopy view \ Finally, we draw the six square rivets along the top \ of the canopy view LDY #255 \ Set X and Y so the first rivet is at (19, 255) LDX #19 .dcan3 JSR DrawRivet \ Draw a square rivet at (X, Y) TXA \ Set X = X
