SSC is getting better

[undisbeliever]

I have created a prototype of SSC (SNES Small C), it is limited, but supports more functions then SNESC.

One such which is the use of the SNES Hardware registers.

ie typing $2100 = brightness will load the value brightness and store it in the brightness register.

It is at http://snescentral.edgeemu.com/snesrpg/?main=files .
You just type in the C code and it will output assembly to stdout.

hmm.

normally, to keep in line with embedded C conventions, you'd declare a memory mapped variable:

Code: Select all

unsigned char brightness at 0x002100;
...
brightness = 15;

blah, but if it works, it works.

The origional idea is that it is LIKE a C Compiler, but in fact it is a simple tool to help newbies become more interested in SNES programming.

That is why everything is static, why structions are obmitted and why I added the $2100 thing in the first place.

To clarify this delemma:
The following code is simple

Code: Select all

$2100 = brightness;
$$2120 = location; //(I think)

Will extract to:

Code: Select all

LDA brightness;
SEP #$20;
STA $2100;
REP #$20;
LDA location;
STA $2100;

If you really wanted to use 'brightness = 15;' then you can use #define brightness $2100
