Re: A86: Strings in memory


You don't need to copy it anywhere - you could use:

        ld hl,string_sprite + 8        ;8 is size of sprite
        call _vputs

But if you really wanted to copy, you can access just the string in the same
way:

        ld de,name
        ld hl,sprite_string + 8
        ld bc,6                            ;length of string + 1
        ldir


        ld hl,name
        call _vputs

Hope this helps!

Happiness is inversely proportional to how much you want to upgrade your
