The only thing that I find a bit confusing is makefiles and also how it knows where to find the bitmap (png) in the make (ldr r1,=picBitmap)I can see the png refs in the makefile but have no idea where the ldr picBitmap comes from as a memory reference.I bet I am being dumb again!!

Okay next up we have a demo to display text on the screen. It demonstrates using a tile mode.
ldr r0, =SCREEN_BASE_BLOCK_SUB(29) @ make r0 a pointer to screen memory bg bitmap sub address mov r3, #14 @ Our character counter (0-14 = 15 chars) adr r1, [text] @ Load the adress of our textMaploop: ldrb r2,[r1],#1 @ Load r2 with our current character code sub r2,#32 strh r2,[r0], #2 @ Store the result in SCREEN_BASE_BLOCK_SUB subs r3, #1 @ count down bpl Maploop

#define OBJ_Y(m) ((m)&0x00ff)#define OBJ_X(m) ((m)&0x01ff)
ADR produces position-independent code, because the address is program-relative or register-relative.Use the ADRL pseudo-instruction to assemble a wider range of effective addresses
I am having a look at your code now. It is a little difficult to concentrate on this a work though, but I can see problems. The wrong values are in r2 and r3 prior to store. This can be shown by altering the ror function and the result is the same, so it is adrift somewhere. I will have a proper look when I get home from work!
Looking great HK... So how hard to you think LDMPCMCIABBCSPQRRSVPTITTY sound is gonna be?
an interesting read at gbadev. There are a couple of things to be learnt there.Have you managed to understand the code fully That is always a tricky bit. I must admit, signed numbers are always a bit of a weak spot with me. Never really got to grips with them. On the C64, none of my games really used anything larger than a unsigned byte...
Everything was written from scratch so I do understand it. The changes I had to make were pretty minor so I actually had most of it right first time. Sorta reminds me of the sound code that didn't work - it was pretty much one line of code that was screwing everything up!
What I don't understand though is why fluBBa suggested I use asr instead of lsr. It didn't seem to make a difference. Also why use movpl instead of movgt? Again they didn't make a difference but I made those changes anyway.
