Storing screen data in ASM code ?

[exxos]

Rather than load a picture from file to screen, does anyone know how to load this into a ASM routine as DATA and copy it to the screen ?

I can do this in basic,but it takes 8 seconds to poke a single pixel line to screen

Most assemblers have an INCBIN directive or similar. With this, you can include any binary file into the executable. From there, just copy it to screen.

Alternatively, you can write a simple tool that spits out "dc.b" directives, and include that.

You mean something a like:

Code: Select all

		LEA #DATA_START, A0
		LEA #SCR_START, A1
		MOVE.L #SCR_SIZE_IN_LONGS, D0
Loop:		MOVE.L (A0)+,(A1)+
		DBNE D0, Loop

I'm trying to remember my M68K assembler from a long time ago.

Oh, almost forgot, there is also a nice tutorial made by Vincent,
