I'm making bomberman and I ran into the same problem. I haven't tested
anything yet but here's my basic idea: instead of using the library
you'll have to cut and paste with the routine. The new inputs are
d=x displacement
e=y displacement
Then you change the routine so that is has a loop for
srl a's and inc hl's
i.e.
;put this at the beginning
Loop1:
inc hl
dec e
jr nz,Loop1
;put this every time there's a new byte
Loop2:
srl a
dec d
jr nz,Loop2
adding pushes and pops where ever neccesary. This only works with
PutSprite, I haven't read the code to NASR. Of course, now the obvious
problem is how do you do lower left corners and upper right and upper
left corners?!! Well, my idea is to have a seperate routine for lower
left corners. Also I have a status bar at the bottom of the screen so
when I just need an upper corner I'll just displace horizontally, then
draw the status bar over the the bottom.
Having two routines and no library isn't very efficient, but its the
best way I can think of offhand. What routine did the author of Sqrxz
use?

P.S. I heard that you're doing bomberman as well?!!!
