Base components branch

base-components branch

The base-components branch is a stepping stone towards other branches in the repository. Its purpose is to implement the basic components that comprise the 16-bit extension, thus separating clearly the implementation of those components from their later utilization in further extension branches. Therefore, this branch doesn't introduce any new functionality to the game.

The changes made by this branch include:

• Defining the necessary macros in order to be able to declare a conversion table, as specified in the conversion table page.
• Declaring the bitmap used for garbage collection in WRAM (wConversionTableBitmap), as well as a temporary loop counter (wTempLoopCounter) used internally by the conversion macro functions. (This loop counter is available for the user when the functions defined here aren't executing.)
• Defining all of the table-related macros described in the conversion macro functions and garbage collector pages.
• Defining all the macros and helper functions necessary to use indirection tables.
