SPO600 Lab3 - 6502 Assembly Language Math Lab
Joyce Wei
Posted on November 1, 2021
In lab3 we are making a kaleidoscope program using 6502 assembly language. The bitmap screen is break down into 4 quadrants and user will be able to draw pixels on second quadrant(top-left) using arrow keys on keyboard. The pixels drawn will be reflect to other 3 quadrants.

The subroutines:
"draw_cursor" is restricting the area where the cursor is allowed to go which is second quadrant only by setting the range of row and column to [$00 : $0F]
"draw_on_quads" is reflecting the pixels in the second quadrant to other 3 quadrants by storing a copy of the current position and adding the x or y offset to the cursor.
