Mazist 2

[goksteroo]

Hi all. This is an update to my previous post on Mazist - the maze generation program for the CPC. I've managed the following improvements due to the enforced isolation that is upon us.

   
• Converted maze generation routine to z80 M/Code
• Converted Screen Printing routine to M/C
• Converted Mouse Solve routine to M/C
• Simplified and enhanced Save/load routines

As a result everything runs much faster. The largest maze is now generated in under 20 seconds instead of 5 minutes. Small mazes are almost instantaneous. Mouse solve is also much, much faster and printing to screen is noticeably faster. Save and load routines now save/load blocks of memory so they are now faster and use less disc space.
The headaches of relearning long forgotten Z80 M/Code was worth while for the program and for my isolation sanity. A copy of the disc is attached if you are interested.
Take care,Geoff
Edit: Oopsies.... I saved the bianary file too short! The attached file is correct and will now work (and not crash) as stated. Sorry
