Need help optimizing proportional text in Smartkeyslib.

Post by tschak909 » Sun Jan 16, 2022 12:00 pm

#ColecoAdam #Z88DK Need some help on the SmartKeys proportional font output routines that are in smartkeyslib.
https://github.com/tschak909/smartkeyslib

Currently, the code in smartkeys_putc() https://github.com/tschak909/smartkeysl ... eys_putc.c will literally plot a single dot for each bit shifted in a row. This is wildly inefficient.

There is code in SmartWriter for the font output, that is much faster, and could possibly be adapted. https://adamarchive.org/archive/Adam/Te ... %20ASM.zip (see the SK_ symbols)

Can anyone help to pitch in? Could really use the help, as I am stretched thin, trying to get FujiNet for Adam to 1.0.
