CROSS LIB - A universal 8-bit library and some games built with it

cross-lib's Issues

MO5/TO7 f2k5.exe is not running on Cygwin

The current compiled version require a dll that is not present in latest cygwin. ( cyggcc_s-1.dll )
Getting source code of the tool and recompiling it solved the issue.

MO5/TO7 makefile error "cmoc_udc_25_tiles"

Replacing by "cmoc_udc_tiles" manually in generated make file solved the problem.

xl - build issue under ubuntu 20.04.3

I've been trying to build CROSSCHASE, but I'm finding that in my set up the compilation doesn't complete.

1. just clone https://github.com/Fabrizio-Caruso/CROSS-LIB
2. enter src directory
3. run xl chase spectrum_test_sdcc to compile the sdcc version
4. run xl chase spectrum_test_sccz80 to compile the sccz80 version
5. run in an emulator (e.g., EightOne), press a key multiple times to start the game even if the game seems frozen

I have a problem writing to my /tmp/ directory. Most of the compilation works fine (for both options), and for some other instructions you've provided, but it seems somehow the end of the xl python script it tries to access the /tmp/ directory in a different way to the way the compilers use it, and it is forbidden from writing into the directory. Probably something odd in my set up, but I haven't found out why I can't get things to complete, which is preventing me from going forward.

[new feature] Laser 500 cursor key input

In Laser 500, it's more natural to use cursor arrow keys instead of IJKL.

Unfortunately Z88DK disables them by default (I will address a bugfix for that) but you can re-enable them by having the following compiler switch added to your makefile:

-pragma-define:CLIB_LASER500_SCAN_EXTRA_ROWS=1

After that, the keyboard input routine will return:

UP: 11
DOWN: 13
LEFT: 8
RIGHT: 9

that you can use in place of IJKL

Cygwin Perl last version have no "perl.exe"

Package 5.32 have no "perl.exe", I had to take the previous one (5.30) to run xl script.

No known emulator

My EmulatorKit emulates RC2014 and SC126 if you still need emulations. The RC2014 emulation can also emulate the EF9345 and TMS9918A graphics to some extent. TMS9918A needs sprites debugging yet.

Linux developer issues.

There no tools for linux development(maybe sources of tools helps us). If there are sources - I think better will be add links to it in readme.

make ncurses

Fails with a.exe not found - there better add output file name option. Or poor-mans variang - just run a.out on unixes(may be i'll try to fix makefiles to build ncurses target on *nixes).

May be its time to sepparate library and game code bases? 😃

Thank you for great library! 👍

Loaded question: output to emulators, webassembly + canvas?

Hello,

Awesome project. Would it ever be possible to extend the supported platform/targets, to include the browser (webassembly + canvas)?

There exist some emulators that compile well into webassembly.. emulators for hardware you already support (c64 etc). "IF" CROSS-LIB could include these emulators (and you build them using web-assembly), "and" you define in the webpage that it should auto-load that project you just built using CROSS-LIB... then you might be able to target the web.

Quite a few "ifs" and "ands" on my part, but just asking. Cheers

However it fails to build

Extra character at the end of line 171 seems to be the issue

but still fails

./xl build chase
./xl chase
Both of these DO work

[new feature] chase coco has no color output

Tried to fix this myself LoL.
On build: xl chase coco
-D_XL_NO_COLOR in build output.
So i thought i was in the right file and commented out the entry in games/chase/makefiles.chase/Makefile.cmoc_targets
next build did not have the entry, but still no color was present in game.
Things are a bit hard to follow of where exactly the config file for the target is.

Going to give newlib-6809 a look, seems a bit lighter than this,
I don't need cross development on other platforms right now, But the concept is interesting.

I started to do a little C programming using SDCC for the 8052 on some home made SBC's back in 2007
But those projects did not even require any kind of std library.

xl script missing

The CROSS-LIB README says there should be a script called xl within the src subdir of CROSS-LIB but it is missing from the latest git revision.

The README says I should be able to use make instead but that doesn't work either. I tried renaming Makefile_common to Makefile but that didn't fix using make.

LIGHT_ATARI_LYNX.lnx Not Working

Tried this on a real Atari Lynx, and emulator, but does not work.

Xsnake_coleco.rom Not Working

Just tried to run Xsnake_coleco.rom (13 May 2021) and all I get is a black screen.

Trying to run the game on OSI C1P emulator

I'm trying to run the game on an Ohio Scientific Challenger 1P emulator. After the loading the game the title screen appears. After hitting the space bar I see "HIGH SCORE: 000000". What should happen next?

Tools sources

Hi,
Can you put a README in tools that says where we can find the source for them?

MSX version fonts

In MSX version the fonts are not copied to VRAM that makes this a bit weird looking :)

How to build for the Sega SG 1000?

Hello Fabrizio!

What is the process for building the games for the SG 1000? It doesn't look like sg1000 has any build rules inside of Makefile_common.

Please add SDCC support

SDCC is not just easier to use than Z88DK because there are readily available packages, but it also outperformed it in tests:
http://www.cpcmania.com/Docs/Programming/SDCC_vs_z88dk_Comparing_size_and_speed.htm

Case issue with src/Makefile.common when building c128 targets in Linux

Hi Fabrizio,

I've noticed this issue for some time, but wanted to officially get this submitted to you. When building for a c128 target, you will need to replace:

a40.ldr with A40.LDR
a40 with A40

a80.ldr with A80.LDR
a80 with A80

Thanks again for sharing this excellent project with us!

Wish: how about some CP/M executables ?

Your code can be compiled on an impressive number of old platforms.

CP/M was an early system that allowed the same binary executable to work on a number of machines sporting a 8080 or above (especially Z80) CPU.

It would be "fun" if you included CP/M in your targets.

Some colors are totally wrong.
In particular:

• red and green are inverted and
• cyan is shown as purple/violet.

The screenshot below shows the problem:

The problem will be fixed in Z88DK.

Cannot find definition for -clib=gencon (when building for c128)

Hello,

Trying to build all projects (for c128) from current repo source and getting this error:

Cannot find definition for -clib=gencon

I'll attach the output from the build process. Everything had been building correctly just over a month ago.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

[z88dk-zsdcc] - testing v4.3.0

Fabrizio,

as part of testing sdcc v4.3.0, we're possibly going to replace the sdcc pre-processor with ucpp, the same one currently used by scc80.

The new sdcc pre-processor for v4.3.0 is based on gcpp-12 and it is currently not usable. For v4.2.0 (currently used by z88dk) it is based on gcpp-4.

Moving to ucpp for both compilers for z88dk would set up a limit of C99 as the standard compliance in the future.

Could you please build / test against your CROSS-LIB to see whether you encounter any issues with the new zsdcc (draft r13854) or using ucpp (C99 standard)? Using the current draft PR z88dk/z88dk#2190.

I'd be very happy to be able to pass feedback to the sdcc team, or you can raise it directly with them if you prefer.

P.

Laser 500 use bright colors for sprites on black background

Laser 500 has 16 RGB colors: 8 "dark" and 8 "bright" (luminosity bit 0/1).

I suggest you avoid dark coloured sprites when you have a black background.

This is how the Laser 500 palette is defined:

   setPalette( 0, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);  // black
   setPalette( 1, 0x00, 0x00, 0xff);  // blue
   setPalette( 2, 0x00, 0x88, 0x00);  // green
   setPalette( 3, 0x00, 0x88, 0xff);  // cyan
   setPalette( 4, 0xaa, 0x00, 0x00);  // red
   setPalette( 5, 0xff, 0x00, 0xff);  // magenta
   setPalette( 6, 0x77, 0x88, 0x00);  // yellow
   setPalette( 7, 0x99, 0x99, 0x99);  // bright grey
   setPalette( 8, 0x55, 0x55, 0x55);  // dark grey
   setPalette( 9, 0x88, 0x88, 0xff);  // bright blue
   setPalette(10, 0x00, 0xff, 0x00);  // bright green
   setPalette(11, 0x44, 0xff, 0xff);  // bright cyan
   setPalette(12, 0xff, 0x44, 0x55);  // bright red
   setPalette(13, 0xff, 0x99, 0xff);  // bright magenta
   setPalette(14, 0xee, 0xff, 0x00);  // bright yellow
   setPalette(15, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff);  // white

Built cc68 with current git repo source and just pulled from CROSS-LIB git repo as well.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

"LEVEL n" and "PRESS A KEY" color changes

the LEVEL n and PRESS A KEY text color sometimes is red, some other times is white; I guess depending on the last thing print before.

FULL_cpc.cdt

Nice game, I was a little disappointed this game crashed, when I loaded it on my Emulated 464 though :(

Perhaps compile program to DSK image and delete CDT before someone tries to load on their real 464 and discover it's 6128 only.

Tried working out what would of cause this kind of crash, it almost happened as soon as the game completed loading, there was nothing obvious when I ran it with 6128 settings, so I'm guessing this game is using Direct Addresses instead of CPC Firmware, Direct Addresses unfortunately vary between 464 & 6128. Only way to resolve that problem is with code to determine which CPC is being used. The most common way is a PEEK(6) which returns a different value on the old models, unfortunately I don't know if that works on the Amstrad CPC Plus range. :(

add some drawing primitives like lines, rects and circles

These could be useful as alternative to titles and to render some effects:
e.g.:

_XL_DRAW_LINE(X1, Y1, X2, Y2, C)
_XL_DRAW_RECT(X1, Y1, X2, Y2, C)

Use raster interrupts for C64

Saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVXqgPCUQCM
and thought refreshing the screen somewhere outside the displayable area would stop the flickering.

Thanks for making new 8-bit stuff :-)

[new feature] Build tools automatically from C source for both Cygwin/Windows and Unix flavors (Linux, FreeBSD)

Automatically build tools from C source (whenever possible) for both Cygwin/Windows and Unix (Linux, FreeBSD).
This feature request also improves/fixes #280:

A tentative list of buildable tools could be:

• bbcim (BBC)
• elf2ea5 (TI99/4a)
• ea5split (TI99/4a)
• f2k5 (Mo5)
• file2dsk (CoCo)
• gamate-fixcart (Gamate)
• m20 (Olivetti M20)
• makewzd (OZ)
• nocart (CPC)
• sapfs (Mo5 and To7)

---

Workarounds:

• c1541 (Cross-Lib when not under Windows, assumes c1541 is installed and PATH can reach it , e.g., by installing vice)

---

Scripts:

• pyz80.py (used to build samcoupe .dsk images) is no longer strictlynecessary if we use appmake from Z88DK to build .mgt files

---

To be verified:

• bin2abc (ABC80) - Ideal solution with abcwrite to replace all tools
• bin2bac2 (ABC80/800) - deprecated by bin2abc
• doscopy (ABC80/800) - deprecated by abcwrite
• dosgen (ABC80/800) - deprecated by abcwrite
• exomizer (currently only used by C64 in an alternative target; its source code has deps)
• c1541 (its code seems to depend on Vice; currently only used by C128 with Z80)
• cc1541 (it could be used instead of c1541)
• File2VDK (Dragon) - Source code uses C Sharp
• srec_cat (used by OSIC1P) - It needs boost library
• ubbin2tap (MicroBEE) - I have not found the C source code
• tap2dsk (Oric/Telestrat) - Currently unused

make: *** No rule to make target 'examples/color/generated_assets/cmoc_udc_25_tiles_and_fonts.s', needed by 'coco'. Stop.

some target files do not get built.
If i try to xl build all coco, getting a lot of missing targets for this system, compared to c64 system.
I tried xl build all all and get better resaults.
coco did not have many programs.
Is this normal, or did i miss something.
I thought all targets would be built.
