You forgot the 'N' in _VPutSN in your example on how to use it. Hurray, typos...

:O Nice

I love how this is aimed at game and program development rather than just understanding the concepts of ASM and z80

Lesson 12 is up.  I didn't have any mochas, so I don't know why I felt the need to be so funny in this lesson.

new progress!

Suggestion: Since there are many lessons, you should attack another zip file in the first post that contains every single lesson in one file, so newer members won't need to download each lessons one by one

Hmmm...well, I'm certainly going to do that when all the lessons are done, but maybe I should think about doing that for every new lesson I do.  After all, I need some kind of excuse to do lesson 1 / lesson 2 htmls and docs

maybe at least every two or three, even if it's just the PDF files (that most people download instead of doc/html). I felt when there are like 20 lessons, it will take a ridiculous amount of time for a member to click attachments on each posts/save as/confirm one by one D:

Leaving the readers in expectation by saying that direct key input exists w/o saying anything else... How cruel of you. :P

lol XD I guess it makes the tutorial cool and unique in some ways, though, to have that

I know ztrumpet is "going to kill me" if I decide not to write Appendix C 8)

I should probably say whilst I remember, the number of lessons is more realistically less than 40.  I figured I should not throw in the kitchen sink, as there are references for people who need them.  (I'm programming in ASM with only 60% of what 28 Days taught).  There will, however, be seven appendixes:

Spoiler For Spoiler:
A. Programming Flash Applications
B. Register Mathematics
C. The Third Method for Detecting Key Presses
D. Other Flags used with JR, JP, CP and RET
E. Impoant Topics Not Covered In the Lessons
F. Functions Every ASM Programmer Should Have
G. Tables

seems interesting.

Btw, even if I do not have plans to learn ASM in the future, since I am fine with what TI-BASIC/xLIB can do for certain games and Axe for others, I still plan to check your stuff for some references, to know how some stuff work and possibly creating my own small ASM routines for games or other stuff

Chances are, most of the routines you need have been made by someone else.  The lessons will give excellent tips on how to incorporate these.

Probably... ;D (jk)

Thanks for writing these guides!  They've helped me with some little things I never got in AsmIn28.  I like how everything's turning out so far. :D
Will there be a lesson covering the differences between Apps and Programs?  I think this would be useful in your guide. :)

Excellent job so far, Hot Dog. ;D
