asccode

 Syntax
asccode (filename)

Explanation
It gets the character information data about an ASCII character. This character information data comprises the DDROM storage address and the character width, height and alignment, all compressed into 32 bits of data for use by the LeoGetAAdr2 function.

Command Line Options
The command line options specify the text file names by using this format:

  • 0, Super Mario 64
  • 5, Wave Race 64
  • 11, Mario Kart 64
The values 0, 5, and 11 each express a different font number (font#). To learn more about font# values, see Chapter 9 of the N64 Disk Drive Programmer's Guide. For example, if the file name is "string," then typing the following on the command line: 
% asccode string
 results in the creation of a file named string.c that contains the following array of character information data:

unsigned string0[]={
67336724, 114259726, 107715344, 93558800, 111626256, 40212, 561550548, 86874128, 111626256, 99756564, 1??????????????????????
