SPO600 Lab 3 - Math and Strings - Guessing Numbers.

Posted on September 28, 2022
In my previous blog I started developing a number guessing game. The game. The game has some milestones:
- Accept number from the player.
- Compare two numbers.
- Generate a random number and store it.
- Compare the number accepted by the user with the random number.
In my previous blog we have completed the first 2 parts. Now lets start with the next part.
Generate a random number and store it.
So the program generates and stores the random number (answer) before starting to get the input number ('start:' part) since it needs to keep getting the input until the user inputs the correct answer but the answer in one game (round) must not be changed.
; variables
define answer $16
;-------------------------------------------------------
lda $fe ; generate random number
and #$99 ; mask out low two bits (=numbers 0-99)
sta answer ; store the answer
start: jsr PRINT
dcb $0d,$0d,"E","n","t","e","r",32,"a",32,"n","u","m","b","e","r"
After generating the random number we will compare the input by the player with the random number.
Here is the final code:
; A number guessing game
; ROM routine entry points
define SCINIT $ff81 ; initialize/clear screen
define CHRIN $ffcf ; input character from keyboard
define CHROUT $ffd2 ; output character to screen
define SCREEN $ffed ; get screen size
define PLOT $fff0 ; get/set cursor coordinates
; zeropage variables
define PRINT_PTR $10
define PRINT_PTR_H $11
define value_h $15
define answer $16
; absolute variables
define GETNUM_1 $0080
define GETNUM_2 $0081
; constants
