vbmNextColumn

vbmSetColumn( );

Description

Simply adds 192 to the built in zero page pointer called screenmemory. Useful for moving to the next column quickly for tiles or sprite slices. WARNING: this should not be used in conjunction with vbmScrollLeft / Right because these commands rearrange the character map on screen and you cannot be guaranteed where the last column in memory will be.

Example

gfx : array[] of byte = ( %11111111, %10000001, %10000001, %10011001, %10011001, %10000001, %10000001, %11111111 ); ... vbmSetColumn( 3 ); // set the fourth column (remember, starts at 0) screenmemory := screenmemory + 20; // move 20 pixels down vbmDrawTile( gfx ); vbmNextColumn(); vbmDrawTile( gfx ); // draws tile in next column along at same Y position
