Title: Idea : axiom DCS routines
Post by: kindermoumoute on April 02, 2011, 04:03:20 pm
First, I'm not an asm programmer, so I just give the idea.

I was thinking about mixing DCS routine with Axe parser, with help of an axiom librairy. En exemple, Alexis from Espace-TI (french) tried to make same graphic routine than DCS, but in Axe :

His executable take 1500Ko (without support mouse selection), and when I see Mobile tune with 1700Ko, better graphic, best synthesizer midi on z80, etc... I think DCS routines are so powerfull.

So, If someone can make an axiom, that could be a little revolution !  :w00t:

Interesting because I had this same idea today.

:D

I think about this since a few week, I already post on cemetech (here (http://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5999)), but there isn't axiom specialist. :/

Well, the DCS one should be smaller since it's in optimized asm, whereas axe, for the sake of stability, avoids optimizations that may or may not be present.

But yes, it would be cool :P

I especially think about graphics routines, but maybe there is other powerfull routines that could be usefull. :)

If DCS has a jump table for calls (I think it does), then an axiom could be made, possibly, that use DCS calls. If I knew how to make Axioms, I would try to make one.

The only problem is possibility of conflicting RAM areas.

We can't know without try. ;)

You wouldn't want it to link to DCSbasic, that's for sure, but linking it in the way DCSB does should work.
