Joystick Functions for C02 Programs
This module contains constants and a function for reading digital joysticks
(the type used on Atari and Commodore 8-bit computers). For systems that use
analog joysticks (such as the Apple II), the paddle module should be used.
The constants and assembly code vary by system, so when invoking the
cross-compilers, the command line option -s must be used to ensure that
the correct header files are included.
At the beginning of the program use the directives
#include <joystk.h02>
The following constants are defined:
#JYSTKS Maximum number of joysticks supported by system.
For systems with no joystick support, this will be 0.
#JOYUP Joystick Switch Bitmask - Up
#JOYDN Joystick Switch Bitmask - Down
#JOYLF Joystick Switch Bitmask - Left
#JOYRT Joystick Switch Bitmask - Right
#JOYB0 Joystick Switch Bitmask - Fire Button
The following functions are defined:
j = joystk(n); Returns the current state of joystick n.
If n is greater than or equal to #JYSTKS then $FF
will be returned. Otherwise, a byte representing the
state of the joystick switches will be returned.
Each switch in the joystick has a corresponding bit
in the result which will be 1 if the switch is
depressed or 0 if it is not.
The specific assignment of bits varies by system, so
the joystick bitmask constants should be used to check
the state of the individual switches.
The state of an individual switch can be determined by
doing a bitwise and of the result with the corresponding
bitmask constant, which will result in a non-zero value
if and only if that switch is depressed.
Note: This library has no external dependencies.
