Yeah but Garth, they are having trouble making an array of Words, lets keep the -1, stack push tricks to latter yeah ;)


Agreed and that's why I used your code example to help him.

What I presented is really basic stuff, not rocket science. Make the table say,
Code:
LvlFuncPtrTableLo
   .byte  LOW(LEV01-1), LOW(LEV02-1), LOW(LEV03-1, <etc.>
LvlFuncPtrTableHi
   .byte  HIGH(LEV01-1), HIGH(LEV02-1), HIGH(LEV03-1), <etc.>

Using the RTS for a jump simplifies things by eliminating the need for a variable and removing it from the constant battle for ZP space (since it was suggested to put it there). It also makes the program more efficient.

Depends what you mean by "efficient". Using RTS takes 1 more cycle vs an indirect jump, but it saves some bytes of code at least?
Code:
STA zp +3
STA zp +3
JMP (addr) +5

PHA +3
PHA +3
RTS +6

The JMP pointer does not need to be on the zeropage, either (JMP's indirection is always from an absolute address, ZP is irrelevant to that instruction), though that would cost another 2 cycles from the STAs.

This is becoming "use my way" instead,you left an example Garth so if sdm chooses to use it that's fine also.

It saves several bytes; and if the indirect address is not in ZP, it's slightly faster, too.

I believe it's always helpful to present a more elegant solution.

I believe when your new the code Oziphantom showed is easier to grasp,that's why I choose his code to help sdm.Now that he understands and has it working he can explore other ways if he chooses,it's not really necessary though but it's up to him.

I would still like to ask for help with a slightly different, large code. Rule similar, but slightly different. Each bit in the "GOLD_xx_xx_UnLock" byte slot is responsible for the collected (1) or not (0) gold. I tried to make the simplified code as above in posts, but this time instead of jump (JMP) to the label are operations on different bits. And now I have a problem, because I do not know if any one can do it in a similar way: /

Collecting the "GOLD" item can be random, there is no pre-assigned order of collection order (one big map consisting of 64-nametables)

GOLD_Checker - is the variable that depends on which "map" we enter, the number of this map is loaded (Specify: the value with the map number is uploaded exactly in the "collision" of the gold with the hero, and after that time is again zero)

Code:
GOLD_Checker      .ds 1
GOLD_01_08_UnLock   .ds 1
GOLD_09_16_UnLock   .ds 1
GOLD_17_24_UnLock   .ds 1
GOLD_25_32_UnLock   .ds 1
GOLD_33_40_UnLock   .ds 1
GOLD_41_48_UnLock   .ds 1
GOLD_49_56_UnLock   .ds 1
GOLD_57_64_UnLock   .ds 1

Something like this:

- A = GOLD_Checker-1. This is your 0-based level index 0..63.
- A/8 (range 0..7) tells you which byte to modify. You can divide by 8 by shifting right (LSR) 3 times.
- A & %111 (range 0..7) tells you which bit to modify (& = bitwise AND). You can use a lookup table with 8 elements (%1, %10, %100, ..., %10000000) to retrieve a mask for ORA.

Here's one way to do it:

Code:
BitMasks:

   .byte %00000001
   .byte %00000010
   .byte %00000100
   .byte %00001000
   .byte %00010000
   .byte %00100000
   .byte %01000000
   .byte %10000000

;************************

   sec
   lda GOLD_Checker
   sbc #$01
   tay
   and #%00000111
   tax
   tya
   lsr
   lsr
   lsr
   tay
   lda GOLD_01_08_UnLock, y
   ora BitMasks, x
   sta GOLD_01_08_UnLock, y


EDIT: Whenever you find yourself doing lots of comparisons against consecutive numbers, you should probably be using indexing instead. And when you're indexing stuff, the bits in the index usually have meanings that you can exploit, so when you realize what the bit pattern of the index/address is, you'll be able to find/manipulate the target data after a few bit manipulations rather than tons of comparisons for specific cases. For example, the way that the layout of a name table address is %0010NNYY YYXXXXX (NN = name table, XXXXX = horizontal tile coordinate, YYYYY = vertical tile coordinate) or an attribute table address is %0010NN11 11YYYXXX (NN = name table, XXX = horizontal 32x32 block coordinate, YYY = vertical 32x32 block coordinate) while the highest unused X and Y bits can be combined to index bit masks for manipulating the 16x16 blocks inside the 32x32 blocks (the lower X and Y bits are discarded for good, since you can't set palettes for individual tiles).
