Thomas Harte	04693b067c	Fixed failure of the optimised route to pump the pixel clock; removed optimisation entirely for now.	2017-02-18 21:36:48 -05:00
Thomas Harte	cd7876a746	Reintroduced the extra clocking delay.	2017-02-18 20:18:50 -05:00
Thomas Harte	ed5ff49ef5	Fixed vertical delay, retreated from my previous thought about adding the one extra cycle of sprite delay, at least temporarily.	2017-02-16 20:52:01 -05:00
Thomas Harte	8d502a0b03	Decided not to run before I can walk and switched to storing the motion time and next step explicitly per object.	2017-02-16 20:28:37 -05:00
Thomas Harte	5ea232310f	Added a check against negative runs.	2017-02-16 18:55:58 -05:00
Thomas Harte	09309aa74f	Attempted to prevent extraneous moves.	2017-02-16 18:52:39 -05:00
Thomas Harte	b5357860b9	Made an attempt to split things apart so as to be able to introduce the proper sprite latency.	2017-02-14 20:56:16 -05:00
Thomas Harte	dd17459687	Added my first failing test: delay is incorrect when resetting outside of the play area.	2017-02-12 20:42:49 -05:00
Thomas Harte	cd90118a0f	Added two, extraordinarily simple tests.	2017-02-12 20:32:53 -05:00
Thomas Harte	25776de59d	I think unit testing this thing is the only way forwards. Started adding appropriate hooks.	2017-02-12 19:55:02 -05:00
Thomas Harte	600bdc9af7	In C++, I think the implicit cast to bool negates the need for any manual collapsing?	2017-02-12 18:18:35 -05:00
Thomas Harte	0c9be2b09e	Shunted the collisions buffer onto a separate area of the heap for the time being, as a debugging aid. Also added a few more initial values.	2017-02-12 18:16:50 -05:00
Thomas Harte	df8a5cbe6d	Made attempts (i) to respect the delay flag; and (ii) to account for border-region sprite clocking.	2017-02-12 17:35:09 -05:00
Thomas Harte	9ce68c38ae	Made an effort to implement proper pixel output for sprites.	2017-02-12 14:01:50 -05:00
Thomas Harte	40954d6a2a	Attempted to factor out parts I expect to reuse for missiles and the ball.	2017-02-12 11:31:17 -05:00
Thomas Harte	ac444a3f34	Corrected both position increments and target time calculation.	2017-02-11 21:24:14 -05:00
Thomas Harte	b8abeced6d	Made an attempt to introduce the proper eventful loop for player output. With debugging yet to occur.	2017-02-11 21:01:58 -05:00
Thomas Harte	aeff59addc	Implemented motion 'correctly', for programs written to do all work outside of the pixel area.	2017-02-11 20:25:49 -05:00
Thomas Harte	7ab6023a0c	Ensured no attempt to call strcmp on null if a file name without an extension got into here.	2017-02-11 13:36:36 -05:00
Thomas Harte	97cdfea9e9	Resolved spurious static analyser complaint: input_size and output_size aren't supposed to have defined values if input or output is null. But whatever.	2017-02-11 13:36:09 -05:00
Thomas Harte	aff69dbc34	Resolved spurious static analyser issue; screen mode will always be 0–6 but it doesn't know that. Setting a non-zero divider doesn't feel worth worrying about for a cleaner compile.	2017-02-11 13:35:22 -05:00
Thomas Harte	6381e4e1b0	All that's happened to position is that numbers have been added to it. So it can't be negative, given that it wasn't before. So a regular modulo will do.	2017-02-11 13:34:36 -05:00
Thomas Harte	c8e595d9aa	Merge branch 'master' into TIAImprovements	2017-02-11 13:20:52 -05:00
Thomas Harte	8c88fd4261	Merge pull request #99 from TomHarte/StartupRace ... Resolves a race condition on machine startup	2017-02-11 13:18:19 -05:00
Thomas Harte	a86a6367b5	Slightly shuffled to avoid a race condition on the best-effort updater.	2017-02-11 13:17:11 -05:00
Thomas Harte	905ed1f87b	Switched to the more natural type, which is also signed, making my logic less prone to error.	2017-02-11 13:16:53 -05:00
Thomas Harte	8de6caf6ff	Started trying to get into a proper structure here. Chickened out.	2017-02-11 12:59:13 -05:00
Thomas Harte	327c19a222	Slightly shuffled to avoid a race condition on the best-effort updater.	2017-02-11 12:58:47 -05:00
Thomas Harte	40d3f5f7f6	Attempted properly to respect start.	2017-02-11 08:26:09 -05:00
Thomas Harte	64d5712d1d	Added an incorrectly-coded version of horizontal move, at least so that I can verify that information is going into the correct slots.	2017-02-10 07:23:43 -05:00
Thomas Harte	3b20d862f0	Made an initial attempt to mark sprite positions. But without hmove implemented, they're all over the place.	2017-02-09 20:53:42 -05:00
Thomas Harte	2e9ef2b0ef	Took a shot at reinstating the horizontal blank extend flag.	2017-02-09 18:37:19 -05:00
Thomas Harte	70745286a5	Ensured this array is properly aligned for the uin32_t accesses I intend to make for background drawing.	2017-02-08 20:25:23 -05:00
Thomas Harte	dcb7584060	Added the four-cycle playfield output latency and ensured you can't get smaller-than-usual pixels by rapid register value changing.	2017-02-08 07:30:32 -05:00
Thomas Harte	a477499724	Got a bit more explicit with range returned by get_cycles_until_horizontal_blank and hence attempted a more thorough (/correct) version of WSYNC.	2017-02-07 22:14:45 -05:00
Thomas Harte	944d835eea	Switched explicitly to an accumulation model for filling the collision buffer.	2017-02-06 21:59:28 -05:00
Thomas Harte	8f5039130c	Changed index naming order to ensure no out-of-bounds accesses.	2017-02-06 21:48:41 -05:00
Thomas Harte	ba165bb70a	Made an attempt properly to populate collision registers from the collision buffer.	2017-02-06 21:15:55 -05:00
Thomas Harte	474e2e8d2c	Fixed once again to respect mid-line palette changes.	2017-02-06 20:09:12 -05:00
Thomas Harte	8b8eb787df	Fixed complete invisibility.	2017-02-06 18:42:58 -05:00
Thomas Harte	66bcdd36f3	Made an attempt to introduce an intermediate buffer that ends up with a bit mask of all graphical components present on it, and to use that to infer collision flags and colours, based on playfield priority and colour palette. Immediately yielding: a blank screen. Good work!	2017-02-06 18:29:00 -05:00
Thomas Harte	fcf8cafb5d	Sought to ensure that communicating a colour burst in multiple parts doesn't ruin the phase.	2017-02-06 18:27:44 -05:00
Thomas Harte	6bcf95042c	Started trying to be a bit more explicit about usage, and to divide up drawing responsibility.	2017-02-05 17:51:56 -05:00
Thomas Harte	23f3ccd77a	Made a further attempt to prevent overwrites.	2017-02-05 17:47:34 -05:00
Thomas Harte	f2437cb257	Added some additional documentation, started making steps towards returning sprites, fixed a counter bug that would exhibit as incorrect sync.	2017-01-31 20:30:32 -05:00
Thomas Harte	abe04334c2	Attempted to retain more player information, and removed the output cursor from class storage as I think it's acceptable as a temporary.	2017-01-30 22:42:27 -05:00
Thomas Harte	8545707b54	Reinstituted the playfield. Probably needs more buffering though. Time to look into delays.	2017-01-30 21:38:58 -05:00
Thomas Harte	2b08758b2b	Started capturing playfield/ball and background colours.	2017-01-30 08:08:03 -05:00
Thomas Harte	764b528891	Made a first attempt at switching to a model that respects blank and sync.	2017-01-30 07:19:19 -05:00
Thomas Harte	92754ace7a	Some mild fixes get me up to having a rolling screen of vertical lines. Which is what I was hoping for right now!	2017-01-29 22:16:23 -05:00
