Help with Assembly: Pacman Game Counter Not Counting Numbers

[$ @ l^l^l @ R]

hi . . .

I have been working on a project
it's to program Pacman Game using assembly

it needs al counter for the number of dots earned by Pacman
I have done a counter but it doesn't counting numbers
it displays charachters like smily face, heart, and all these whose ASCII code starts from 00H to FFH

please if anyone knows how can I let it counts and displays numbers !

Thank you . . .

Determine how many decimal digits you will show.

Let's say you want to do three digits. For the first, take the number of dots, divide by 100 (= 10^(3-1)), mod 10, using the appropriate operations for the size of the number stored. Then add '0' to get the digit. (reverse Polish notation: N 0x64 / 0x0A % 0x30 +)

Just vary the number you divide by each time to get different digits.

thank 4 your reply

but the counter is working properly
except that it doesn't displaying numbers
it displays ascii charachters :S

You have to convert an integer into ASCII numbers: 48= character "0" for example.

i added 30h to convert ascii to decimal
but started counting from 1 then b then symbols
:S

Er, I'm just guessing since you haven't been entirely clear about what precisely you are doing that's failing...

Did you instruct the computer to print a single character when, in fact, you are trying to print a double-digit number?

thank u all . . . i did it

Hurkyl ;
ya i was working only on one digit
but when it counted properly from 1 to 9 then gave symbols
i added the other digits
so the counter is perfect
thank u :)
