* Remove vector.sMiquel Sabaté Solà2026-02-131-170/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of this, the 'reset' function can go into 'jetpac.s', as we could consider it's part of the 'main' work. As a bonus, doing this alignment gives us 3 bytes back from ROM space. Not that we care too much about space, but it's amusing nonetheless. The debug scope has been moved into its own file in include/. Admittedly it's not the most crucial file in the project, but it makes things more logical and it opens the door to more debugging utilities. This leaves us with a vector.s file only containing interrupt code. Thus, it just makes sense to rename it to interrupts.s, which in the end makes things more organized.

* Adapt the code to play well with nasm's asanMiquel Sabaté Solà2025-12-151-20/+20
| | | | | | | The address sanitizer from nasm provides quite a few goodies, so let's adapt the code more to it to benefit from those. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mssola@mssola.com>
* Don't handle frame drops unless PARTIAL is setMiquel Sabaté Solà2025-10-121-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | This fixes commit 6e274fb50251 ("partial: Account for frame drops") in the sense that the accounting of frame drops should _never_ affect production binaries. Even if the two instructions would've never been reached if PARTIAL=0, they would still be included in the final binary, which is not necessary. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mssola@mssola.com>
* Initialize enemies at a random Y coordinateMiquel Sabaté Solà2025-05-161-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | The randomness comes from a pre-computed table of "random" numbers. This is of course the most simple technique you can come across a code base for the NES/Famicom, but for the purposes of this game is good enough and (most importantly) fast.

* partial: Account for frame dropsMiquel Sabaté Solà2025-05-151-1/+22
| | | | | | | | Define tracing variables when PARTIAL=1, which is only on a development environment. This way we can detect whether we are dropping frames or not. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mikisabate@gmail.com>
* reset: Do not zero out RAMMiquel Sabaté Solà2025-05-121-24/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is usually done so the programmer can forget about initializing in the future, but it not only hides programming mistakes, but we are also resetting memory addresses which are never to be used by this simple game. Hence, just skip resetting RAM altogether. Last but not least, sprite initialization in `reset` code has also been optimized so instead of around 2000 cycles it takes half of that. This is done by only touching the first byte of the four bytes for a sprite in OAM, which is enough for hiding random sprites and the cost of extra `inx` instructions is far cheaper than all the extra `sta` to absolute address with X-index from the old code.

* player: First PAL implementationMiquel Sabaté Solà2025-04-021-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | The steps by which a player increases its current velocity to reach the target one has been adapted on PAL, so every five frames it takes an extra step compared to NTSC. This at least brings PAL to grow its values at the same rate as NTSC. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mikisabate@gmail.com>
* reset: Read the PPU status before the first waitMiquel Sabaté Solà2025-03-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | That is, stick more closely to what the reference reset implementation does. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mikisabate@gmail.com>
* Disable the PPU between the title to main screensMiquel Sabaté Solà2025-03-191-1/+3
| | | | | | | During other transitions like game over and such it might also be needed to have something similar, but for now this should cut it. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mikisabate@gmail.com>
* Add a title and a main screensMiquel Sabaté Solà2025-03-131-0/+27
| | | | | | | | This commit adds the skeleton for having a title and a main screen. For now the title menu doesn't do much, as the selection is simply ignored, but at least it already knows how to cycle between these two states. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mikisabate@gmail.com>
