; B L K B L A S T  -  Blast 2D character pattern and attributes into memory
;
;===========================================================================
;
;     by Jeff Duntemann      3 February 1989
;
; BLKBLAST is written to be called from Turbo Pascal 5.0 using the EXTERNAL
; machine-code procedure convention.
;
; This version is written to be used with the SCREENS.PAS virtual screens
; unit for Turbo Pascal 5.0.  See DDJ for 4/89.
;
; Declare the procedure itself as external using this declaration:
;
; PROCEDURE BlkBlast(ScreenEnd,StoreEnd : Pointer;
;                    ScreenX,ScreenY    : Integer;
;                    ULX,ULY            : Integer;
;                    Width,Height       : Integer;
;                    Attribute          : Byte;
;                    DeadLines          : Integer;
;                    TopStop            : Integer);
;           EXTERNAL;
;
; The idea is to store a video pattern as an assembly-language external or
; as a typed constant, and then blast it into memory so that it isn't seen
; to "flow" down from top to bottom, even on 8088 machines.
;
; During the blast itself, the attribute byte passed in the Attribute
; parameter is written to the screen along with the character information
; pointed to by the source pointer.  In effect, this means we do a byte-sized
; read from the source character data, but a word-sized write to the screen.
;
; The DeadLines parm specifies how many screen lines to skip between lines of
; the pattern.  The skipped lines are not disturbed.  TopStop provides a byte
; count that is the maximum number of bytes to blast in from the pattern.
; If a 0 is passed in TopStop, the value is ignored.
;
; To reassemble BLKBLAST:
;
; Assemble this file with MASM or TASM:  "C>MASM BLKBLAST;"
; (The semicolon is unnecessary with TASM.)
;
; No need to relink; Turbo Pascal uses the .OBJ only.
;
;========================
;
; STACK PROTOCOL
;
; This creature puts lots of things on the stack.  Study closely:
;

ONSTACK STRUC
OldBP   DW ?    ;Caller's BP value saved on the stack
RetAddr DD ?    ;Full 32-bit return address.  (This is a FAR proc!)

DeadLns DW ?    ;Number of lines of dead space to insert between blasted lines
Attr    DW ?    ;Attribute to be added to blasted pattern

; pass the full size of the block in the TopStop parameter if topstopping

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------
; The first important task is to get the first pointer in the ShowPtrs
; array into ES:DI.  This involved two LES operations:  The first to get
; the pointer to ShowPtrs (field Screen in the stack struct) into ES:DI,
; the second to use ES:DI to get the first ShowPtrs pointer into ES:DI.
; Remembering that ShowPtrs is an *array* of pointers, the next task is
; to index DI into the array by multiplying the top line number (ULY)
; less one (because we're one-based) by 4 using SHL and then adding that
; index to DI:
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------
GetPtrs: LES     DI,[BP].Screen   ; Address of ShowPtrs array in ES:DI
         MOV     CX,[BP].ULY      ; Load line address of block dest. to CX
         DEC     CX               ; Subtract 1 'cause we're one-based
         SHL     CX,1             ; Multiply CX by 4 by shifting it left...
         SHL     CX,1             ;  ...twice.
         ADD     DI,CX            ; Add the resulting index to DI.

         MOV     BX,DI            ; Copy offset of ShowPtrs into BX
         MOV     DX,ES            ; Copy segment of ShowPtrs into DX
         LES     DI,ES:[DI]       ; Load first line pointer into ES:DI

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------
; The inset from the left margin of the block's destination is given in
; struct field ULX.  It's one-based, so it has to be decremented by one,
; then multiplied by two using SHL since each character atom is two bytes
; in size.  The value in the stack frame is adjusted (it's not a VAR parm,
; so that's safe) and then read from the frame at the start of each line
; blast and added to the line offset in DI.
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------
         DEC     [BP].ULX         ; Subtract 1 'cause we're one-based
         SHL     [BP].ULX,1       ; Multiply by 2 to cover word moves
         ADD     DI,[BP].ULX      ; And add the adjustment to DI

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------
; One additional adjustment must be made before we start:  The Deadspace
; parm puts 1 or more lines of empty space between each line of the block
; that we're blasting onto the screen.  This value is passed in the
; DEADLNS field in the struct.  It's passed as the number of lines to skip,
; but we have to multiply it by 4 so that it becomes an index into the
; ShowPtrs array, each element of which is four bytes in size.  Like ULX,
; the value is adjusted in the stack frame and added to the stored offset
; value we keep in DX each time we set up the pointer in ES:DI to blast the
; next line.
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------
         SHL     [BP].DEADLNS,1   ; Shift dead space line count by 1...
         SHL     [BP].DEADLNS,1   ; ...and again to multiply by 4

; This is the loop that does the actual block-blasting.  Two counters are
; kept, and share CX by being separate values in CH and CL.  After
; each line blast, both pointers are adjusted and the counters swapped,
; the LOOP counter decremented and tested, and then the counters swapped
; again.
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------
MovEm:   MOV     CX,[BP].BWidth            ; Load atom counter into CH
         MOV     AH,BYTE PTR [BP].Attr     ; Load attribute into AH
DoChar:  LODSB               ; Load char from block storage into AL
         STOSW               ; Store AX into ES:DI; increment DI by 2
         LOOP    DoChar      ; Go back for next char if CX > 0

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Immediately after a line is blasted from block to screen, we adjust.
; First we move the pointer in ES:DI to the next pointer in the
; Turbo Pascal ShowPtrs array.  Note that the source pointer does NOT
; need adjusting.  After blasting through one line of the source block,
; SI is left pointing at the first character of the next line of the
; source block.  Also note the addition of the deadspace adjustment to
; BX *before* BX is copied into DI, so that the adjustment will be
; retained through all the rest of the lines moved.  Finally, we subtract
; the number of characters in a line from TopStop, and see if there are
; fewer counts left in TopStop than there are characters in a block line.
; If so, we force BWidth to the number of remaining characters, and
; BHeight to one, so that we will blast only one remaining (short) line.
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------
         MOV     ES,DX           ; Copy ShowPtrs segment from DX into ES
         ADD     BX,4            ; Bounce BX to next pointer offset
         ADD     BX,[BP].DeadLns ; Add deadspace adjustment to BX
         LES     DI,ES:[BX]      ; Load next pointer into ES:DI
         ADD     DI,[BP].ULX     ; Add adjustment for X offset into screen

         MOV     AX,[BP].TopStop ; Load current TopStop value into AX
         SUB     AX,[BP].BWidth  ; Subtract BWidth from TopSTop value
         JBE     GoHome          ; If TopStop is <= zero, we're done.
         MOV     [BP].TopStop,AX ; Put TopStop value back in stack struct
         CMP     AX,[BP].BWidth  ; Compare what remains in TopStop to BWidth
         JAE     MovEm           ; If at least one BWidth remains, loop again
         MOV     [BP].BWidth,AX  ; Otherwise, replace BWidth with remainder
         JMP     MovEm           ;   and jump to last go-thru

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------
; When the outer loop is finished, the work is done.  Restore registers
; and return to Turbo Pascal.
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------

GoHome: POP     DS                ; Restore Turbo Pascal's
        MOV     SP,BP             ; Restore Turbo Pascal's stack pointer...
        POP     BP                ; ...and BP
        RET     ENDMRK-RETADDR-4  ; Clean up stack and return as FAR proc!
