I still remember when the POTY award started, the second year they had to split the 68K poll in two and keep 4 programs of each for a 2nd round poll, because there were too many entries to fit in their poll system. This never happened on z80 calcs, but it went pretty close in 2004. In 2005 the same thing happeend to 68K but they had half less programs, if I recall. Afterward, the 68K scene seemed to have died. Some 68K coders lost interest due to fights starters in the 68K community back then, but I won't get into details. Now it seems there's a regain in interest toward 68k calcs, noticing the amount of 68K users joining lately.
I've noticed that there are a ton of programs from years past, but very few from the last two or three years.  I didn't know there were that many though. wow.  It's a shame really because there are some really impressive projects here on the z80 calculators.

happybobjr, thanks for the heads up! :P

Welcome! There has definitely been a large drought in 68k programs/programmers so it's nice to see someone new here with some interest, not to mention some previous ASM experience. :)
*edit* By the way, what kind of programs have you written for the Commodore Vic-20?
Thank you.  To answer your question: nothing spectacular.  Most of my time was spent experimenting and making lame demo effects.  I've made a couple games.  I have neither released nor would admit authorship of any of them I'm afraid. :)  For the past year and a half I've been working on the same project: an engine and editor for point-and-click adventure style games.  When I finish I'll more than likely become more involved here with TI-89 programming.  Hopefully that won't be too long. :)

Welcome! Glad to see someone else who's interested in 68k programming. I don't know how many 68k assembly programmers there even are, these days- I think most use C, don't they?



The userbars in my sig are links embedded links.

And in addition to calculator (and Python!) stuff, I mod Civilization 4 (frequently with Python).

Thanks!  Yeah, the impression that I'm getting is that C is far more popular.  I find that somewhat odd considering the power of the 68k instruction set and the frequent need for direct hardware access. Oh well, whatever works.

Other things about myself: I enjoy running, drawing, and in a few days I'll be a freshman in college.

Running, drawing, and college? Oh ho ho, we are going to be good friends.  ;D
I do sprites and stuff, so yeah.

Yeah the thing is that a lot of people find ASM very hard to use so having C as an option makes things better for them. On the TI-Nspire, most people use C too. On z80 calcs, this did not happen with Axe Parser, most ASM coders stuck with ASM, but a lot of BASIC coders moved to Axe, including myself (although I still occasionally do some BASIC stuff).

Hello!
Welcome to Omnimaga, Empyreal!  I see you have already been given your complementary peanuts (which strangely, I missed out on :P), so there is nothing for me to say but welcome and good luck with your projects!

Thank you, SirCmpwn!  Yes, I just finished the last of my peanuts a little bit ago.  Delicious!  And thank you (again), Raylin. :)
