===== OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS MEMORY SCANNER =====

==== PURPOSE ====
 A RAM-scanner, written (originally) in XC=BASIC by the Italian JJ Flash, and translated in ugBASIC which displays part of the contents of the RAM, in PETSCII characters. With it you can run from one part of the retro computer memory to another by simply using the joystick. A nice example of how to take advantage of the powerful MMOVE instruction.  

==== SOURCE CODE ====
   
   	VAR wSourceAddress AS ADDRESS = 0
   
   	INK WHITE
   
   	CLS
   
   	DO
   
   		MMOVE wSourceAddress TO VIDEO TEXTADDRESS SIZE ( SCREEN ROWS - 1 ) * SCREEN COLUMNS
   		
   		LOCATE 0, (SCREEN ROWS - 1)
   		PRINT wSourceAddress; "    ";
   
   		joy = JOY(0): kbd = SCANCODE
   		IF ( joy HAS BIT LEFT ) OR ( kbd = KEY A ) THEN 
   			wSourceAddress = wSourceAddress - 1
   		ENDIF
   		IF ( joy HAS BIT RIGHT ) OR ( kbd = KEY S ) THEN
   			wSourceAddress = wSourceAddress + 1
   		ENDIF
   		IF ( joy HAS BIT UP ) OR ( kbd = KEY W ) THEN
   			wSourceAddress = wSourceAddress - 80
   		ENDIF
   		IF ( joy HAS BIT DOWN ) OR ( kbd = KEY Z ) THEN
   			wSourceAddress = wSourceAddress + 80
   		ENDIF
   		
   	LOOP
