Apple II

The Apple II is an 8-bit home computer and one of the world's first highly successful mass-produced microcomputer products. It was designed primarily by Steve Wozniak.

Setting up

Compilation can be done as follows (master.dsk can be found with applewin) 

acme hl.asm
java -jar AppleCommander-1.3.5.jar -d master.dsk hl

Graphics Modes

Text Mode 40x24, for Apple IIe available 80x25 - use PR#3 for switch mode, or hardware switch
LowRes 40x48, 16 colors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II_graphics
Hires mode 280x192,6 colors: https://www.xtof.info/blog/?p=768

However for sizecoding, you almost never want to do direct-access to graphics for Apple II in size-coding because the Apple II graphics modes are horrible. The only fast way to do things is with large lookup tables. To do hires you need to divide by 7 which as you can imagine is a bit difficult to do compactly on 6502. Double-hires is even crazier on top of that. Deater did manage a color-bar style effect in double-hires in 128B but that was doing some crazy tricks with the firmware BASIC routines, definitely not direct-access.

Lores and Hires can be mixed modes and full-graphics The screen structure is called memory holes(https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/2534/what-are-the-screen-holes-in-apple-ii-graphics). The GBASCALC($F847) procedure is used to calculate the address of the horizontal line : IN:reg.A=Y, out : GBASL/GBASH($26/$27)=address.

Getting something on screen

Here is an example of a XOR texture, created by g0blinish 

 *=$6000
 !to "HL.bin", plain	; set output file and format
 !cpu 6502		; set processor type

GBASL	=	$26
GBASH	=	$27
SETGR    =     $FB40 ; setup LoRes
GBASCALC = $F847 ; calc Address

CLRTEXT =  $C050 ;display graphics 
SETTEXT =  $C051 ;display text 

CLRMIXED = $C052 ;clear mixed mode- enable full graphics 
SETMIXED = $C053 ;enable graphics/text mixed mode 

PAGE1 =    $C054 ;select text/graphics page1 
PAGE2 =    $C055 ;select text/graphics page2 

CLRHIRES = $C056 ;select Lo-res 
SETHIRES = $C057 ;select Hi-res 

TMP= $FA

	JSR   SETGR      ;GR
	BIT CLRMIXED ; full screen

	LDA #0 ; A=0
	STA TMP ; POKE $FA,A

YLP ;
	LDA TMP ; A=PEEK($FA)
;	LSR ; A=A/2
	JSR GBASCALC
	LDY #0;Y=0

XLP TYA ; A=Y
	EOR TMP ; A=A xor PEEK($FA)
	and #$0F ; A=A and 15
	TAX ; X=A
	LDA COLORS,X ;A=PEEK(COLORS+X)
	STA(GBASL),Y ; POKE PEEK($26)+256*PEEK($27)+Y,A
	INY ; Y=Y+1
	CPY #40 ; Y=40?
	BNE XLP
	INC TMP ; POKE $FA,PEEK($FA)+1
	LDA TMP ; A=PEEK($FA)
	CMP #24 ; A=24?
	BNE YLP

Sound

Here is an example for using the speaker, based onthe following basic program: 

; 50  POKE 768,V: POKE 769,P - 255 *  INT (P / 256): POKE 800,1 + P / 256
; 60  CALL 770: RETURN 
; 95  FOR K = 1 TO N: READ V(K),P(K): NEXT K
; 100  FOR K = 1 TO N:V = V(K):P = P(K)
; 110  GOSUB 50
;!byte 173,48,192,136,208,5,206,1,3,240,9,202,208,245,174,0,3,76,2,3,206,32,3,208,240,96

 *=$6000
 !to "HL.bin", plain	; set output file and format
 !cpu 6502		; set processor type

;start
; 95  FOR K = 1 TO N: READ V(K),P(K): NEXT K
; 100  FOR K = 1 TO N:V = V(K):P = P(K)
