särki.ASM - 360 byte intro

särki.ASM - 360 byte intro explained

Four k intros are boring ? Too many bytes ? Now try this: 360 Bytes. Piru was kind enough to comment the source of his 360 byte demo.

; Even more optimization, hints:
; - at program start d0=1 if no arguments are given.. :-)
; - look at y- and x-loops.. reversing y-loop would pay off. also it could be
;   possible to combine the loops to one.
; - reverse maxiter loop.
; - remove OpenScreen failure test.
; - replace lbm test with loop counter.
; - who cares if CloseLibrary() isn't called.
;
;
; known features (bugs) of the current version:
;
; - if run on 68000 or 68010 will crash, need 020+
; - if run on pre-3.1 (V40) will crash, need Kickstart 3.1
; - if actiview's viewport modeid & MONITOR_ID_MASK isn't valid modeid intro
;   will just quit.

; to compile:
; phxass särki.ASM m=68020 noexe
; phxlnk särki.o


	incdir	"include:"
	include	"exec/types.i"


; First some constants. Screen width and height and maxiter for mandelbrot
; calculation. Note that the code is optimized for the width=256 case, so you
; can't change it easily. Also the system default palette and the current
; MAXITER magically give nice result. If you change MAXITER or make the loop
; reversed expect gfx to screw up.


WIDTH	EQU	256
HEIGHT	EQU	200
MAXITER	EQU	64


; Since the mandelbrot is zoomed we must save some variables at some point. I
; use stack and clever register selection to optimize this thing (more about
; this later). Anyhow the structure below represents the stack when
; everything is pushed into it.

	ULONG	d6_save
	ULONG	d7_save
	LABEL	da_stack_SIZEOF


; To make things a bit easier I use EQUR to define some registers. Whoever
; invented EQUR should have free beer for rest of his life...

; Ah! Finally the code entrypoint. We use private V39+ exec LVO -$32a to
; open graphics library. gfxbase is pushed to stack and current stack
; pointer is stored to a5. (a5) can be then used to load gfxbase to a5 when
; needed and move.l a5,sp can be used to clean up the stack at exit.


_main	move.l	(4).w,a6
	moveq	#1,d0
	call	TaggedOpenLibrary
	move.l	d0,-(sp)

	move.l	sp,a5


; Next we build OpenScreenTagList taglist to stack. First a null to end the
; taglist.

	clr.l	-(sp)


; The next code fragment does the same as 'move.l #SA_Width,d0' but looks
; more obfuscated. Yeah! :-)

	moveq	#31,d0
	bset	d0,d0			; d0=$8000001f
	addq.l	#SA_Width-SA_1F,d0


; This code is obvious. It builds stack so it will be:
;
;  SA_Depth
;  6
;  SA_Height

;  SA_Width
;  WIDTH
;  0

	pea	(WIDTH).w

; This intro is gfxcard aware. This is achieved by querying the modeid
; of the active viewport and masking just the monitor id out of it. For
; native modes this will give 'low res' mode (320x256 or 320x200). For
; graphics cards we get the first 8-bit mode (most likely 320x240 or
; 320x200). Yes, this is a hack, if the first modeid isn't available
; we're in trouble.
;
; Will push the following to stack:
;  SA_DisplayID

; Next open intuition so we can open the screen. Again store the base to
; stack. Note that before storing the base we move stack pointer to a1,
; since this is the register taglist must be given to OpenScreenTagList.
