; Beer Song for the Motorola 6800 microprocessor ; by barrym 2010-06-10 ; ;Prints the exact song lyrics to a terminal (console) ; hooked to a late 1970s vintage SWTPC 6800 system, ; which is the target device for this assembly. ; ;Thanks to Michael Holley for his great documentation! ;Thanks to sbprojects.com for a very nice assembler!!! ; ;The 6800 microprocessor is the slightly older, less ; popular, and more expensive step-brother of the ; 6502. Numerous similarities exist between the ; assembly languages of the two, but the 6800 has ; its own distinct flavor, which is (judging by ; how compact the code ended up) particularly well ; suited to this type of small program. I am ; particularly impressed with the two-byte 'bsr' ; instruction, and I make extensive use of it here. ; ;Effort was made to keep the code footprint as small ; as possible by re-using substrings and code in ; a hacker-like style that makes the logic a bit ; strange to the human eye (the 6800 gobbles it up ; without complaint). The final tally: 116 bytes ; of code, 106 bytes of text, and about 10 bytes of ; stack. This includes int to ascii conversion, ; blank line between verses, removal of "s" from ; "1 bottles", substitution of "no more" for "0", ; and proper capitalization of "No more". ; ;reg b holds the beer counter ;reg x holds the string pointer ;reg a takes care of everything else (with a little ; help from the stack) ; .cr 6800 .tf beer6800.obj,AP1 ;----------------------------------------------------- ;Constant Equates ;----------------------------------------------------- outeee .eq $e1d1 Console putchar routine maxbeer .eq 99 Must be in the range 1..99 .or $1000 ; main ldab #maxbeer b = maxbeer bsr prsong (sing entire song) swi (return to monitor) ;----------------------------------------------------- ;Print the entire song except the last sentence ;----------------------------------------------------- beerme bsr prbob ?
