i don't understand why the idiomatic way to software debounce on the game boy is to read the address like 6 times in a row and store it in the same register
like surely
ld a,[$ff00]
ld a,[$ff00]
ld a,[$ff00]
ld a,[$ff00]
ld a,[$ff00]
ld a,[$ff00] ; wait a few cycles
and
nop
nop
nop
nop
nop
ld a,[$ff00] ; wait a few cycles
are the same?
i do not get it
@aescling when you press a button, almost always, you're literally causing two pieces of metal to touch each other. that's how pretty much all buttons work, it's how most switches work, etc etc
the problem is that when they touch they, well, bounce
so if you're reading the output really quickly it'll look like ...00000000110100101001011111111...
debouncing is taking that signal and turning it into a clean 0000011111
