Re: A85: Drawing a menu
Here's how I did it. Note that Draw_Currsor_4 is the part of the routine
that actually draws the cursor. The push af is so that you don't have to
load a a second time to draw the updated register. I jus tried it with
your suggestion and it saved 11 bytes, so ignore all of the code below,
because I'm using the djnz idea. It's amazing how effiecient loops are.
Thanks again.
Draw_Cursor:
push af ; Save current option for easy
retrieval
cp 1 ; Check if option one is set
jr nz, Draw_Cursor_2
ld hl, $FE13 ; If so, inverse first option
jr Draw_Cursor_4
Draw_Cursor_2:
cp 2 ; Check if option two is set
jr nz, Draw_Cursor_3
ld hl, $FE83 ; If so, inverse second option
jr Draw_Cursor_4
Draw_Cursor_3:
ld hl, $FEF3
Draw_Cursor_4:
