    I said that we should have a thread about Cats...........
    Every time I read that the oldest person in the world has died, I have to do a quick check to see it isn't ME..........

    I presume it's cause he's decrementing the HL register... which presumably is somehow related to the cat's remaining lives... I didn't really get it either, but then I think everyone else missed the point entirely and just started posting pictures of cats :roll:
    My rubbish website including the redrawn Amstrad schematics and the Sinclair Wiki.

    Didnt get the DEC(HL) one at all, presume its a very very geeky joke

    The original one I had said "lives-1"

    I just changed it to DEC (HL) simply as that seemed to be the most appropriate one for here (as the few games I've disassembled use that register for lives) and with cats having 9 etc etc...

    Many games have also DEC A as the lives count is 8 bit integer.

    You could be right, I'm not much of a coder :) , I simply picked the one I knew I'd seen a few times. :)

    Oh gods no..not a LOLcat thread. Somebody shoot me.

    ..good! 8bit integers is preferable.

    I wrote that, cause somebody is decreasing lifes of cats by DEC HL :D
    What a beautiful nonsense! :)

    Well it is the time of year for a little bit of nonsense I suppose. I just found it fun to change it to DEC (HL) at the time. :)

    DEC (HL)

    decreases the contents of the memorylocation pointed by by HL.

    So HL point to the memorylocation of number of lives and decreases this.

    DEC A
    only decreases the A register but doesn't store the value when you use A for something different.

    DEC A
    OR
    JP Z,EXITUS

    OR A is not needed. DEC A will already set the Zero-flag.

    Actually about 80% of games I hacked (about 120-150 I think) have DEC A :)

    Better:

    DEC A
    JP Z, GAME_OVER

    or maybe better

    DEC A
    JP Z, REST_IN_PEACE

    For MR.Beep: and after this there not in picture will be ld (lives),a :)
