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	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	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	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	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	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	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	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	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	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	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	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
Thomas Harte	d51f185dc7	Made an attempt to reintroduce the basic horizontal loop.	2017-01-29 15:43:57 -05:00
Thomas Harte	2390358c24	Prevented unbounded CPU usage, albeit without yet deciding who has authority for the clock rate.	2017-01-29 14:19:26 -05:00
Thomas Harte	2432a3b4d7	Fixed condition — >= is smarter.	2017-01-29 14:00:01 -05:00
Thomas Harte	9c3597c7e3	Attempted to reintroduce enough logic to handle [most of] line timing, such that WSYNC works. Initial objective is to get back to having a working background.	2017-01-29 13:47:36 -05:00
Thomas Harte	fba6baaa9c	Stubbed and disabled to get back to building.	2017-01-28 21:56:01 -05:00
Thomas Harte	a246530953	Supposing the TIA were implemented, this is (more or less) what the Atari 2600 would now look like.	2017-01-28 21:46:40 -05:00
Thomas Harte	0ffded72a6	Created a placeholder class for a factored-out TIA. There's a bit more it'll need to do, like vending (or receiving) a CRT but this is the full hardware stuff, I think.	2017-01-28 16:19:08 -05:00
