That should be int screen_y[200], otherwise with y=199 you'll overrun the
array.

Problem here is that we are dealing with a 32-bit compiler so the size of
'int' is 32-bits. So to get the right offset to the screen_y array, you need
to multiply y by 4, not by 2:
     shll $2, %%ebx

Hope this helps,
