I wrote a small program in 23 bytes that simulates a dice with values 1 to 6.
It starts at address zero and it rolls through these values as long the program runs.
When you stop (toggle STOP) and examine octal address 200 (just A7 up) you will see the value, represented in a pattern on the data LEDs.
Here it is:
Code: Select all
Address   Data   Assembler
000   006   start   MVI B,6      ; Start value of the dice is 6
001   006
002   041      LXI HL,lut   ; Start address of the look-up-table
003   021
004   000
005   176   next   MOV A,M      ; Store memory contents in A
006   062      STA 200      ; Store A in address 200
007   200
010   000
011   043      INX HL      ; Increase address look-up-table
012   005      DCR B      ; Decrease dice value
013   312      JZ start   ; Jump to start if zero
014   000
015   000
016   303      JMP next   ; Otherwise look up the next pattern
017   005
020   000
021   167   lut   167      ; 01110111 = 6
022   076      076      ; 00111110 = 5
023   066      066      ; 00110110 = 4
024   052      052      ; 00101010 = 3
025   024      024      ; 00010100 = 2
026   010      010      ; 00001000 = 1
