VTUI Library

[JimmyDansbo]

I had not noticed that it actually saves to different addresses.
When looking at the VTUI library documentation https://github.com/jimmydansbo/vtuilib? ... -save_rect , my guess is that the vtui.save_rect prototype would be something like this:
vtui.save_rect(memtype, bank, address, width, height) where
memtype: $80 for video memory, $00 for system memory
bank: VERA bank if memtype=$80
address: Address in memory to write screen content to
width, height: size of area to save.

So it seems like store_logo first save the logo to address $10000 in VRAM, then it saves the logo to address $10100 in VRAM
store_where_logo_was saves the logo to $10010 and then to $10100 in VRAM.
As the area saved is 7x7 characters x2 for color information it uses 92 or $62 bytes of memory.
store_logo saves logo to address $10000 and store_where_logo_was saves logo to $10010 which would overwrite the logo saved by store_logo.

Thank you!

Hello, with which acme was this asm compiled please?
I'm just having trouble with my ACME.

Thanks.

I'm just having trouble with my ACME.

There's creams and pads for that.

I suggest you use the latest version of Acme from here:

I thought I would try and write the first part of the VTUI demo in BASIC since now we have TILE, TDATA & TATTR functions in ROM.
It is not quite as fast as VTUI, but it does work.

BUT ONLY IN LATEST ROM (NOT R46 OR OLDER)
