The Z80 Files (A tutorial)
« on: June 15, 2012, 09:25:16 pm »
I got Unit 1 of my comprehensive z80 tutorial up at Google Docs. The link is below. It is open to revision by all, so feel free to edit away. I actually want it to be longer.

Well I read the first part of it and I really like the style ^^ however isnt the ans varable accessible by pressing [2nd][0]? Changing that now.
Edit: I also changed "TiLp" to "TILP". Are there any more things you want in it? I could help writing a bit. Maybe on error messages.
Also, is this meant to be a programming tutorial or a tutorial on how to use your TI-83+ series calculator?

It starts off with things that the average non-programmer can use, then breaks off into three more units on Z80 programming.

Sure, you can throw in error messages somewhere.

Darn, what error messages should I put in? I mean, the one I have to "fix" most is ERR: ARCHIVED. Other than that, I don't know which errors are as common?

Ok :) Will write a part about that.
Is it ok to write it this way: [general error description part blah blah] Here are some common errors and how to fix them [error][caused by][howtofix]?

Add Archived, Undefined, and Invalid Dim.

Due to dissatisfaction, I will be inactive on Omnimaga until further notice. (?? THP hasn't been much success and there's also the CE. I might possibly be here for a while.)
If you want to implore me to come back, or otherwise contact me, I can be found on GitHub (bluebear94), Twitter (@melranosF_), Reddit (/u/Fluffy8x), or e-mail (if you know my address). As a last resort, send me a PM on Cemetech (bluebear94) or join Touhou Prono (don't be fooled by the name). I've also enabled notifications for PMs on Omnimaga, but I don't advise using that since I might be banned.

Maybe you should add in the connect to computer section that any USB A to USB mini B cable works, so you can take one from a digital camera, a playstation, an external hard drive,...
