The Extended '88 Round

Organiser: John Metcalf

Rules:

Max. length:	100
Min. distance:	100
Rounds:	1000

Round 14 of the Redcoder Frenzy Tournament will take place using standard '88 rules, with one small extension - the LDP and STP instructions are included. The addressing modes valid for LDP and STP are indentical to those available to MOV within the '88 standard, i.e. #$@< for the a-field and $@< for the b-field.

Now is your chance to use those specialist components, which crush their intended target, but fail miserably against almost everything else. Bomb-dodgers, anti-vamp, CLP, and more... 1000 rounds will be fought for each battle.

Below is a simple switcher to get you started. Simply create two components and place the labels w1 and w2 at their entry points.

; switch on loss or tie

res: ldp #0,      res
str: ldp pkey,    0
     cmp #1,      res
     add #4000,   str
     stp str,     pkey
     slt #3999,   str
     jmp w2
pkey:jmp w1,      #47
     end res

'88 newbie hint: DAT 0,0 is not valid code in '88. Be aware DAT #0,#0 will be detected by an opponent with a CMP-scanner.
