Lol I just took a quick look at Lesson 3, and I wonder if for early BASIC programmers, Axe Parser couldn't act as some sort of bridge towards ASM? Some of the pointer stuff seems pretty similar to Axe. Of course, in lower level but still pointers/memory addresses


Well, I'm pretty sure that Quilbo Quigibo (forgive the spelling) had that in mind...

(EDIT by Mapar: fixed  :P )

It might be good to specify how much RAM exactly in total the 83+ has, though.

Perhaps...but my goal is not to explain beyond the unnecessary.  Besides, I didn't do my homework (metaphorically), so I don't know how much the 83+ actually has.

Aaah ok. Well, Idk if Quigibo goal was to do a bridge towards ASM, though. I think it can make ASM easier to understand, but he made this language mostly so people can create games easier and faster. I often heard about RPG and the like taking years to complete in ASM. Just Desolate, which is 2 hours long and was worked on day and night, took over a year to be finished completly.

Hot_Dog, why is the .org statement given as a base-10 number? Wouldn't it be more effective just to use hex, since that's what will be used later anyway? Or do you plan to change it eventually?
Edit: I am, of course, referring to Lesson 4

In tutorial 2 you might want to give the right answer for computation 4 ;)
Apart from that I like you tutorials a lot!

I'll be talking about Hexadecimal numbers when I talk about registers in pairs, and then I'll switch the .org to base-16.  In the mean time, however, I'm trying to give these lessons a slow, easy-to-work-with pace, so I felt there was little need to work with base 16 for the time being.

Hi,
I read all the lessons an I'm really eager ! This is awesome man

Thus... now THE question that I think everybody wants to get an answer

Lesson 4 Page 7 :
Quote
By the way, H and L can be used as a pair. Since H = 0 and L = 6, HL =
06, meaning HL = 6. For the time being, don’t take this and run with it:
if H = 1 and L = 7, HL DOES NOT equal 17.

What is HL egual ? :D

I should probably put that answer in the tutorial.  Of course, soon enough, I'll explain what goes on

On my side of things, I've gotten a lot of errors when trying to compile your programs.
I haven't compile a program yet.

This error is the culprit:

ti83plus.inc:51: error: Can't recognize 'EQU' as an instruction or macro

This error is the culprit:

ti83plus.inc:51: error: Can't recognize 'EQU' as an instruction or macro

Put these four lines at the beginning of ti83plus.inc:

#define EQU .EQU
#define equ .EQU
#define db .DB
#define DB .DB

I will need to tell everyone else in the tutorial to do the same thing.  I think that Texas Instruments originally wrote this file for a different compiler

Try this one.  Assuming it works, I'll change the link to where everyone can get it.
