Very, _very_ minor: switched to normal C++ constructor syntax for simple variable initialisation.

Of course, being in-phase means being the cosine wave.

'type' is out, at least for the time being.

Okay, it looks like colour 3 is approximately phase offset 0, and the palette wraps around after 14 entries, not 16. Also got a bit less dependent on floating point accuracy for the step.

Formally gave the 2600 responsibility for providing the code that decodes one of the things it has put into a buffer into a composite sample.

Experimenting with pre-encoding luminance and chrominance separation over on the
...
CPU as otherwise the GPU does them repetitively and more awkwardly (as it's working purely in floats). It means uploading twice as much data though, so I don't
know. Still only half as much as the RGBA path of a few days ago. Will experiment.
Also slightly adjusted division of responsibility in the fragment shader per the
desire to have the `sample` function owned externally.

It's the worst fragment shader you'll ever see. The worst. But this attempts NTSC composite video emulation, artefacts included.

It sounds like the two sync signals are exclusive ORd.

Wired up joystick directions, at least, and fire button presses get as far as the C++. But there's some latching to figure out before they'll work.

Made attempt not to touch the _collisions registers (which are instance variables) unless the local variables imply it's potentially necessary. So that's a broad phase on collisions, I guess.

Minor thing: skip the internal counter stuff if we're definitely going to end up with a transparent pixel anyway for the player and missile graphics.

As an experiment, performed some very basic moving of playfield composition outside of the pixel loop.

My understanding now is that object position counting will begin the cycle after the call is made, not that cycle, and that the timer loops just once, with the logic for counter pumping being whether the relevant flag is still set, irregardless of whether the counter is still going.

Fixed: paging is based directly on the access, independent of the read/write line (since it isn't actually exposed to catridges).

Minor steps to help with diagnostics; all commented out or merely to benefit with breakpoint placement.

Removed the implicit reset upon 6502 startup, adding a reset line. Hence all tests now pass again. Added an empty shell for timing tests, the all-RAM 6502 now counting bus cycles.

Ensured the PIA timer resumes its normal tick rate after being read; fixed those spaces that had crept in where tabs should be.

Switched back to one texel per colour clock, at least for now. Attempted to break _RGBA assumption within the cathode ray view.
2015-08-05 23:36:04 -04:00

The cathode ray view no longer hard codes the frame size. So that's one less coupling. Doubled pixel output size to give sufficient sampling detail to capture the NTSC colour clock (ummm, hopefully).

I'm ashamed to admit, I: played with numbers until enough things looked stable such that I can investigate other things. Discovery: my PAL autodetection was way off. Fixed, hopefully.

Can't seem to find any documentation: assumed horizontal sync is generated during vertical.

Added an attempt at NTSC/PAL autodetection, based on number of missed vertical syncs.

Factored out a few more constants, started trying to ensure there's enough slack and the mechanisms in place for the CathodeRayView to hold onto two frames if it desires, for potential phosphor simulation, switched once again to additive blending — much more like a real CRT — and added a sine function across the width of spans per my understanding of how an electron gun actually fires.
...
Why do all this when overall timing is still so far off? It helps me more easily see how overall timing is so far off.
