Display kernel for 5 Card stud Poker

[Andrew Davie]

I wanted to post the current (messy) state of the code, but it is breaking the 20000 char limit of the forum!

I have adjusted and the limit is now 64K-1

I am a bit stuck here for the last few days.

Can you increase the font size?  Even +1 pixel horizontal and +2 vertical will make a huge difference.
I think the upside-down card ident is useless/bad. It adds nothing IMHO.
You seem to have in various places managed to position the card ID in all correct positions, just not consistently on the whole screen. So that should not be too much trouble to fix.
What exactly are you stuck on?

The repositioning and the timings.
I don't want to write a kernel loop and a positioning for every row
I need 4 repositioning of 4px each (4x4 = 16px) but the max I can get from one RESPx position is (-)15px.

The timings for changing color and graphic for one player is already that bad (1 TIA pixel!) that one scanline timing loop can't be used for the first and the last row.

I first want to get the positioning right.
The upside-down ident looks a bit lost, but it was easy to add. I thought of adding a big card symbol (heart,spade,cross.. like in your last mockup) in the middle of the last card.

Great!

Probably I will catch up the recorded stream later in the weekend.
Looking forward to seeing how the poker client is coming together!

If you happen to be at VCF East this weekend, you can have a look at the current state of the WIP 2600 5 CS Client at the FujiNet rooms

just for fun and because it is easy with the awesome Miditari:

Now with player purses (30 Hz flicker) and stable 262 scan lines.

I have pushed the current state of the code (frontend ROM and backend) to my PlusROM-Hacks GIT repository: 5 Card Stud GIT repository

I have setup the client project as a batari Basic project with a custom kernel. I got the idea from the awesome Philip Blackman (@splendidnut) and his "Bruce Lee" project.
