Title: Need a Coder...
Post by: JincS on November 06, 2006, 06:23:00 pm

Hey everyone! Here's the skinny:

I'm looking for a good z80 programmer who can throw together a nice ASM sample for me. Nothing too complicated (basics really), but I haven't had a chance to start studying the z80 (it's hard switching from 8086 ASM! :P ).

Basically, I'm looking into (possibly) integrating a customized version of TIGCC into the assembly IDE I've been working on, that will allow for ANSI C programming for the TI8x series calcs. I'm downloading the source for TIGCC right now, but I need a good sample file that I can use to make my modifications/optimizations to it.

Anywho, if you're interested in helping me out, PM me and I'll give you the code specs that I need :)

Thanks all

I would talk to Kerm over at Cemetech also, if you haven't already. There are some other people over there who can be of some help also.

I thought about it, but I wasen't too pleased with the attitudes of some of the members over there towards newbies (Eg Me).

I would suggest getting someone who knows what they are doing in z80, go ask around RevSoft or MaxCoderz. Good luck.

Kllrnohj has already done extensive work on SDCC for z80s running the TI-OS; I believe he would a good person to talk to.  I also know an opcode or two of ASM (;)), and Chipmaster and elfprince13 are fairly good ASM programmers.  I hate that some random members who hardly post have given Cemetech a n00b-unfriendly reputation. :(

SDCC is hard to use though I tried using that and it was none to easy to setup, the only good C compiler(that wasn't complete though) that I ever got was from mbruno at #tcpa on IRC but now he is no where to be found so that is just my perspective
@KermMartian: I tried the new doorsCS up on your site and it's rele cool I like it a lot

 I thought you only knew C++; TIGCC is in Delphi.  I don't know much about Delphi though.  Maybe it's similar to C++.

Meh. I have a really good sense of syntax, so it's pretty easy fro me to understand most languages. But the layout of all of it isn't what I'd call user-friendly, so I'm not gonna use it (just write my own).

@Kerm: I didn't mean to give you guys a bad rep, but there's a reason that I don't post over there, and that is it. I'm not saying that it it is everyone @ Cemetech, just a few members (who will remain unnamed for politeness) who have not-so-professional/polite attitude towards newbies like me. I do, however, apologize for any offenses I may have created. Please don't take it personally.

Yeah, I do think some of the things some tactics some members use to be-n00bify (as they call it) can be harsh.

Only the IDE is in Delphi.

Everything else is C, but it's a mess :( it could be optimized so much too...
