MAIN.EXE shares most of the code in this segment, but I can't remove it from
there right now due to the weird ordering of the data segments in that
executable…
And yes, once again, those three seemingly random type casts in here are
*necessary* to build a bit-perfect binary.
Small detour into MAINE.EXE because it has all the juicy algorithms that will
explain the remaining unknown members of the highscore data structure, and
there's this one code segment here we need to get out of the way first.
The same function appears unused in TH02's MAINE.EXE. Separate commit because
this was painful enough and we can link the C version into FUUIN.EXE right
now.
Oh, OK, so this is what the PC-98 GRCG is all about. You call grcg_setcolor(),
and that puts the PC-98 hardware in some sort of "monochromatic mode". Then,
you just write your pixels into any *single* one of the 4 VRAM bitplanes. This
causes the hardware to automatically write to *all* bitplanes in such a way
that the final palette index for each of the 8, 16, or 32 pixels you just wrote
a 1 value to will actually end up to match the color you set earlier.
Don't forget to call grcg_off() at the end though, or you can't draw any
non-monochromatic graphics, heh.
Yes, all of it. Including the bouncing polygons, of course. And since it's
placed at the end of ZUN's code inside the executable, the code's already
position-independent and fully hackable.
Well, that became unbearable pretty quickly. Not sure whether I'm doing all
this Makefile business right, but this looks pretty nice.
It doesn't really help much at this point though because the 32-bit part is
still entirely separate and forces everything to rebuild all the time, but at
least it aborts on C compiler errors.
