Re: 2 things.
Ok, before you try to do anything with disassembly / Game modding , you need to start from the basics and learn to program your own little projects in assembly. I don't mean a little bit, I mean you need to be very good at it. I've been doing Z80 assembly for 7 years now and I would only consider my...

Re: 2 things.
I have no idea what you mean 'do the assembly' in reference to that short byte sequence. I dont think that sequence is code... 00 is a no-op, 90 would be sub b, 99 would be sbc c, and so on. it looks more like bitmap data to me (lots of repetition of the same letters) , but it could be sound, text, ...

Re: How to make a tile/grid based game?
The "Showtile" routine is in the included asm file "Z:\SrcALL\V1_SimpleTile.asm" If you can't find things in a set of asm files it's worth using the "Find in Files" function of Notepad++ (Most other programmers editors have a similar function). With it you can search al...

Re: How to make a tile/grid based game?
Checkout Grime Z80.
https://www.chibiakumas.com/z80/grimez80.php
it used a 'tilemap' (bitmap 8x8 graphics), and is the simplest example of such that I have done.
The player could shoot and collide with the background, in a similar way to what you describe.

Re: Spectrum reverse engineering tool
That looks like a fantastic tool for people looking to understand what's going on in a game, or for debugging their own projects when they aren't doing what was expected! I used the Winape tool to do similar things when I was learning on the CPC, though it's possible that this tool gives even more f...

Re: What is going on?!
This could be happening for a few reasons: 1. Your sprite is going offscreen, and corrupting data outside of VRAM (could even be the stack) 2. Your code is leaking something - for example pushing more than it pops, eventually the stack fills over time and the machine crashes 3. There's particular pa...

Re: Tried getting a graphic to appear on the screen. Nothing appears.
For the record, I re-downloaded my Devtools (2021 ver) and the latest sources, and assembled with the "Vasm ZXS" option You can see the program works correctly as shown in the screenshot. sample.png You will find different assemblers do work differently, even a simple command like "OR...
