`MoveTo`

Systems: C64, MEGA65, PLUS4, C128, VIC20, NES,PET
Parameters: b,b,b

MoveTo( [byte1], [byte2], [byte3] );

[byte1] - x position
[byte2] - y position
[byte3] - address high byte

Moves the screenmemory pointer to the specified x/y (parameter 1,2 ) position with address high bit specified in parameter 3.

Formula:
screenmemory = [ param3 *$100] + x +y*40

While still fast, MoveTo can take some time to complete. If speed is needed consider using AddressTable instead.

Example


    // Move to x=4, y=5 in color memory
    moveto(4,5,$d8);
    // zp is another pointer
    zp:=screenmemory;
    // Move to x=4, y=5 in bank 0 screen matrix
    moveto(4,5,$04);

    for i:=0 to 20 do begin
        screenmemory[i] := i; // Fill screen with some random text here
        zp[i] := i&3+2; // Fill color ram with some random colors
    end;
