..^U:ZERO.. BYTES: CUSTOM CHARACTE
RS.. BY FENDER TUCKER.. THE
REGULAR COMMODORE GRAPHICS.SET IS HANDY
FOR CREATING SCREENS BUT.MOST OF THE VA
RIATIONS HAVE BEEN USED.ALREADY. THE ON
LY WAY TO COME UP.WITH ANYTHING NEW IS T
O CREATE YOUR.OWN GRAPHICS SET. ACCORDI
NG TO THE.PROGRAMMER'S REFERENCE GUIDE,
IT'S.EASY ENOUGH TO DO, BUT THE METHOD.T
HEY DESCRIBE IS UNWIELDY AND SLOW.......
A BETTER WAY IS TO CREATE A FONT.FIL
E, LOAD IT INTO THE PROPER.LOCATION, THE
N CHANGE A POINTER TO.POINT TO THE NEW F
ONT. USING THIS.METHOD YOU DON'T HAVE T
O USE ANY.COMMANDS LIKE FORI=0TO2048: PO
KE... :.NEXT WHICH TAKE TOO MUCH TIME.
YOU.CAN FORGET ABOUT ALL THOSE DATA.STAT
EMENTS, TOO... THERE ARE VARIATIONS O
N THE METHOD.BUT IT BASICALLY GOES LIKE
THIS......... FIRST, CREATE YOUR NEW
CHARACTER.SET USING A PROGRAM SUCH AS.UL
TRAFONT+, PUBLISHED A COUPLE OF.TIMES IN
COMPUTE!'S GAZETTE. ANY.CHARACTER SET
GENERATOR WILL DO, AS.LONG AS YOU KNOW W
HERE THE FONT IS.SAVED. ULTRAFONT+ SAVES
ITS FONTS AT.$7000 (28672). FOR CONVEN
IENCE, SAVE.THE NEW FONT ONTO THE SAME D
ISK YOUR.MAIN PROGRAM IS ON... IF YOU
R PROGRAM IS 25 BLOCKS OR.LESS IN SIZE T
HE BEST PLACE TO STORE.THE CHARACTER SET
IN MEMORY IS $3800.(14336) TO $4000 (16
384). THE.CHARACTER SET MUST BE IN THE
SAME.BANK AS THE SCREEN. IN THIS CASE,.
BOTH ARE IN BANK 0... THIS GIVES YOU
THE MEMORY FROM.$0801 (2049) TO $3800 (1
4336) FOR.YOUR BASIC PROGRAM. TO PROTECT
THE.CHARACTER DATA, YOU MUST LOWER THE.
TOP OF BASIC TO $3800 (14336) WITH.THE C
OMMAND:.. POKE55,0:POKE56,56:CLR..
THIS CAN BE DONE IN A BOOT.PROGRAM FOR
YOUR MAIN PROGRAM OR AT.THE BEGINNING OF
THE MAIN PROGRAM... THE COMPUTER MUS
T BE TOLD OF THE.NEW LOCATION OF THE CHA
RACTER SET..THE COMMAND FOR THIS IS:..
POKE53272,31.. YOU CAN DO THIS IN T
HE BOOT OR.THE MAIN PROGRAM. TO RESTORE
THE.NORMAL CHARACTER SET, THE COMMAND I
S:.. POKE53272,21.. THE CHARACTER
DATA FILE, WHICH.YOU CREATED WITH THE CH
ARACTER SET.GENERATOR AND SAVED EARLIER,
MUST.THEN BE LOADED INTO MEMORY AT THE.
RIGHT ADDRESS. THE ADDRESS $7000 (IF.YO
U USED ULTRAFONT+) MUST BE CHANGED.TO $3
800........ THERE ARE AT LEAST THREE
WAYS OF.DOING THIS: WITH A DISK EDITOR;
WITH.AN ML MONITOR; OR WITH A SHORT BASI
C.PROGRAM. SECTOR EDITOR, BY SHAWN ORT.
ON LOADSTAR #43 IS A GOOD DISK.EDITOR.
SUPERMON, BY JIM.BUTTERFIELD, IS A HANDY
ML MONITOR.THAT HE HAS KINDLY RELEASED
INTO THE.PUBLIC DOMAIN... I WILL BRIE
FLY DESCRIBE ALL THREE.METHODS OF SAVING
YOUR CHARACTER FONT.DATA AT THE RIGHT A
DDRESS........ THE FIRST WAY, WITH SE
CTOR.EDITOR, IS PRETTY EASY. THE FIRST.
TWO BYTES OF THE FILE CONTAIN THE.LOAD A
DDRESS IN LO-BYTE/HI-BYTE.FORMAT. USE T
HE EDITOR TO LOOK AT.THE FILE AND CHANGE
THE FIRST TWO.BYTES FROM 00 70 TO 00 38
. BE SURE.TO WRITE THE BLOCK BACK TO TH
E DISK,.AND YOU'RE READY TO GO... NOT
E THAT THE FIRST TWO BYTES OF.THE SECTOR
ARE THE TRACK AND SECTOR.LINKS. THE FI
RST TWO BYTES OF THE.FILE ARE ACTUALLY B
YTES THREE AND.FOUR OF THE SECTOR DATA..
.... THE SECOND METHOD, WITH AN ML.MO
NITOR, INVOLVES LOADING THE.CHARACTER SE
T FILE INTO MEMORY,.FINDING IT, TRANSFER
RING IT TO $3800.(14336) AND THEN SAVING
IT TO DISK.UNDER THE NAME YOU WANT TO L
OAD WITH.YOUR MAIN PROGRAM. IF YOU'RE U
SING.SUPERMON AND ULTRAFONT+, THE SEQUEN
CE.IS:.. .L"FONTNAME",08. .T7000,780
0,3800. .S"FONT",08,3800,4000.."FONT"
WILL BE THE NAME OF THE FILE.THAT YOU LO
AD WITH YOUR MAIN PROGRAM..... THE TH
IRD WAY IS TO USE A PROGRAM.LIKE THIS:..
10 IFA=0THENA=1:LOAD"FONTNAME",8,1.
20 FORI=0 TO 1023. 30 POKE 14336 + I,
PEEK(28672 + I). 40 NEXT. 50 SYS 57
812 "FONT",8. 60 POKE193,0: POKE194,56
. 70 POKE174,0: POKE175,64. 80 SYS62
954.. LINE 10 LOADS THE SET DATA INTO
.MEMORY AT $7000 (28672). LINES 20.THRO
UGH 40 COPY THE DATA TO $3800.(14336).
LINES 50 THROUGH 80 SAVE.THE MEMORY TO D
ISK UNDER THE FILENAME."FONT"... IF T
HE CHARACTER SET GENERATOR.SAVES THE FIL
E AT SOMEWHERE OTHER.THAN $7000 (28672)
SUBSTITUTE THE.DECIMAL ADDRESS IN PLACE
OF THE 28672.IN LINE 30... SO THE BEG
INNING OF YOUR MAIN.PROGRAM SHOULD LOOK
SOMETHING LIKE.THIS:.. 10 IFA=0THENPOKE
55,0:POKE56,56:. CLR:A=1. 20 IFA
=1THENA=2:LOAD"FONT",8,1. 30 POKE53272,
31...... IF YOUR BASIC PROGRAM IS LAR
GER.THAN 25 BLOCKS THEN THERE ARE AT.LEA
ST TWO OTHER WAYS OF USING YOUR.CUSTOM C
HARACTER SET. ONE WAY IS TO.CHANGE BANK
S. THAT METHOD I'LL SAVE.FOR A LATER BY
TES COLUMN. THE METHOD.I WILL DESCRIBE
INVOLVES PLACING THE.FONT BEFORE YOUR BA
SIC PROGRAM... TO USE THIS METHOD, YO
U MUST RAISE.THE START OF BASIC WITH A B
OOT.PROGRAM. THE BOOT PROGRAM MUST USE.
THIS COMMAND:.. 10 POKE43,0:POKE44,16:
POKE4096,0:. CLR.... THIS FRE
ES UP THE MEMORY FROM.$0800 (2048) TO $1
000 (4096) FOR YOUR.CHARACTER FONT. INS
TEAD OF $3800 IN.THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS,
SUBSTITUTE.$0800. LINES 50 AND 60 IN T
HE THIRD.METHOD WOULD LOOK LIKE:.. 50
POKE193,0:POKE194,8. 60 POKE174,0:POKE
175,16.. WHEN YOU WANT TO ENABLE THE
NEW.CHARACTER SET, USE THIS COMMAND:..
POKE53272,19.. NOW YOU HAVE THE MEMO
RY FROM $1000.(4096) TO $A000 (40960) FO
R YOUR.BASIC PROGRAM... THE PROGRAMS
LISTED IN MAGAZINES.NEVER USE COMPLETE C
USTOM CHARACTER.SETS BECAUSE NO ONE HAS
THE STAMINA.TO TYPE IN THE 2048 NUMBERS
THAT MAKE.UP THE SET. ON A COLLECTION L
IKE.LOADSTAR WE ALWAYS HAVE DISK SPACE.F
OR A NINE-BLOCK FONT FILE... TO SEE C
USTOM CHARACTERS IN.ACTION, CHECK OUT WO
RD BOWL AND.UPSIDE DOWN IN THIS ISSUE OF
.LOADSTAR. BOTH PROGRAMS WOULD HAVE.BEE
N DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO.IMPLE
MENT WITHOUT USING THIS.TECHNIQUE......
IN YOUR NEXT PROGRAM, TRY CUSTOM.CHAR
ACTERS AND YOU'LL NEVER GO BACK.TO THE O
RDINARY GRAPHICS IF YOU CAN.HELP IT...
