Berzek for C64

Hello... I recently recieved assembler source code for Berzerk video game. I was told that I would have to use CCS65 to compile it. However, I am quickly realizing that I have no idea how to do this in CCS65. Can some one help me our compile this for me with CCS65 if I sent the source code? All help is appreciated, I'd love to get a port of this classic on the C64.

Fantastic progress you guys are making on this... Thanks for all the efforts and keep up the good work... I have no doubt soon we'll have a great C64 conversion of Berzerk.

and here is the mentioned setsprite routine.

this must be rewritten to the c64 bitmap architecture but imho not a major issue:

(looks "tightly" written for these small sprites)

;set robots on screen
;soft sprite handling
L8716: lda $183A
beq L872A
sta $8F
ldx #$01
stx $86
dex
clc
L8723: jsr L872F

; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
L87B1: ldx $FF
rts

in the end it should look like this:

the berzerk logo of the start screen is ripped off and converted from atari bitmap format into c64 one...

now I am just need to get the bitmap into c64 to get familiar with that mode... ;)

I have the logo on c64 screen plus rasters running... ;) so many years atari experience and so less on c64... should have touched the commie more often instead of vic-20... ;)

i always forget to setup the colour ram... ;)

with the help of the guys at #c-64 I have the atari code running on the c64...

here is one of the first pics..

http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=131873

it assembles fine and correct now for c64 so i can add and rewrite routines... next will be the atari2c64 bitmap screen calculations...

ok... something to think about it... does anybody have some ideas regarding remapping atari screen adresses to c64 one?

the issue is following... assume a linear screen ram... so actually the walls for the rooms are drawn in this way:

$10d0,$10d1 etc is the lookup table for the start adress of each scanline in the bitmap (screen, screen+40, screen+80, etc... in lo, hi format)

$a0 is the offset in that line, $a1 is the length of the wall, $a3 the y-position, $a5 the right side bitmap value and $a4 the middle of the bitmap and $a6 the left edge.

so...actually this is how I understand the stuff:

ABBBBBBBBC
ABBBBBBBBC
ABBBBBBBBC
...

or

C
C
C
C
C

so...what I want to do at a first step is not to rewrite the whole algorithm but maybe a clever "remap" routine... i would like to take the $8b,$8c pointer and try to calc the desired c64 screenpos?

the bad thing would be ok, it slows down the drawing but the good would be that I could take the original code without rewriting the draw routine for the static elements on screen.


any cleaver ideas?

change the bitmap line start addies into c64 ones, then:

I have marked each line added by me with ";" there's only new lines added, no original lines changed. it generally does what you have asked for :) converting the bitmap addy straight would be more painful imho. instead I have changed the logics to move in c64 steps.

edit: oops, dey fucks up my new adressing scheme, well you can change it to X reg nicely and keep Y 0 :)
