That's sure nice to see someone interested in programming assembly. I'd recommend you some nice tutorial sites if you could tell me what calc you plan to program for. All calcs have different assembly language, therefore you need to decide which one you plan to program for.
Cheers!

(except for Ti, and then so they can try to sell em to us) |

Total Posts: 2486 | Hey, my asm fav sites are rather outdated but I've found that yahoo returns a very decent list with a right search query. I've found that "ti-83+ assembly tutorial" keyword gives a very nice list with good sites. If you're a lazy butt, you can just click [HERE] to search for the above mentioned keyword.Hope this helps you guys.

Total Posts: 5 | Which calculator are you looking to develop for? If it's below the 89, it uses a zilog z80 processor, and you can find tutorials on http://ti83plus.acz.org for 83 hardware (and consequently 82 hardware) or http://ti86.acz.org for ti-86 hardware (and consequently ti-85 hardware). If you're looking for 89 and 92 hardware, go to http://ti89.acz.org for great tutorials, and definitely read jimmy mardell's excellent m68k development tutorials, definitely the best for learning m68k asm. Jimmy mardell also wrote the excellent z80 school, which will teach you the basics of z80 asm.
So, use jimmy mardell's tutorials to learn the semantics of the actual languages. Then use the Acz sites to learn how to apply the languages to actual hardware.
best of luck,
James
[btw] http://guide.ticalc.org is a z80 tutorial that is ripped almost entirely from jimmy mardell's and the Acz tutorials and put into a pretty little webpage. I didnt use them.. but i'd assume they work as well.

Thanks for the info, its very appreciated. And yeah, I've gotta agree that Jimmy Mardell's tuts are ones of the best. Just curious, are you a programmer yourself (if so, what calc)?

Total Posts: 5 | I'm definitely a programmer, but I gave up calc coding when I graduated from high school. I used to be in a group called the "assembly coders zenith" ;) I wrote that quirky little 83plus central at http://ti83plus.acz.org . I just checked, my old site is still up at http://james.acz.org too.
I was an 86 specialist actually, but I did some 85, 83plus, and 89 coding as well. I generally stick to slightly faster computers these days ;-) but i was thinking about making something for the 86 again. I vowed to finish an rpg for it before i die hehe

Total Posts: 2486 | lol! i don't think good calc programmers program for calcs not coz they think that calcs are suport computers but because its more challenging to write a program for a calc due to its vast limitations. as with myself, i never felt like leaving faster computers after my programming in 83 basic. :)
giid rog is always nice, cept not many of us have an 86.

Total Posts: 5 | yes, exactly, that was why i got into calc coding in the first place, because of the limitations. The calc community has turned into a bunch of whining little kids though, it's not like the glory days back in 98-99 ;) For a while some of us moved to the gameboy, but that fell through and now the only calc coder i talk to is Dux Gregis.
he (as well as I) are quite into linux, and related programming. C'est la vie. All I know, is that i *am* going to finish an RPG on the 86 before I die, it's just a matter of time. I'll always have mad love for the 86 ;)
Plus, i always wanted to make a game that took up 90% of the calc's memory hehe |

Z, you might want a news article about the need for a programmer (remember our e-mail discussion). Since the people that come here are more or less dedicated to the site and there are some good programmers I think it might be worth a try. I speak more about this under the SC forum. |

Total Posts: 2486 | oh yes, yes i almost forgot that one. i'll make a small ad on our front page (not a news though) which will inform our visitors that we're seeking a coder for 89 C project. you'll see it added tomorrow. i'm too tired now :). --gone to bed...
