Ah, well pseudo-code is just the algorithm explained as words.  For instance:

Pseudo-code for eating a sandwich:
1.) Get out bread, meat, cheese, and condiments
2.) Layer appropriately
3.) Eat :)

Oh, okay... lemme see... Divide MP number by E:
Get pointer to multi precision number
Get length in bytes of said number
Zero out A
Multiply this value by 8 for the number of bits
Use a multi precision shifting routine to shift the bits left
Do a 17 on A (erm, shift left while carrying in the carry)
compare a to E
If A is greater than or equal, subtract E and set the last bit (by adding 1) to the multi-precision number

The result is that the old mp number contains the results of a division by E.

It is like long dividing... in binary...

Thanks for the info. Aren't 31 bytes numbers a bit large, though? O.o

yep ^-^ Which is what makes it useful to people like me who like to work with large numbers :D I plan to make some math functions available for BatLib that deal with much larger numbers. Maybe I'll add some symbolic, but I doubt it :P

Big Integers would be awesome.  As in integers that fill up as much room as mem can hold.

Yep :D I can tweak the routine a little to handle numbers much larger than 248-bits... I think it would add about 14 bytes to the code (because ED43**** and ED4B**** are four bytes and some push/pop things could be removed).

Hi,
I did disappear due to the extreme escalation of problems at home.  I'll pop in occasionally as often as I can, but it won't be often.  I'm still managing some work on tiDE, though.
Xeda, I'd love to use those routines!  They would be especially useful.

Okay, I hid them in the spoilers in these posts:
Rectangles:

MP_Div_E:
http://ourl.ca/6825/168438

And the documentation is somewhere in this PDF :D

Just a tip: Try not to put [code] tags in spoilers. In some browsers (like Chrome) it shows up really, really small.

Sorry, I just like fixed width stuff. I'll remove them, though.

You can use [tt][/tt] for fixed-width without code blocks :)

Oh, thanks! I know I saw that somewhere, but I couldn't remember what the code thing was.

Thanks, where does the screen buffer fit into that routine?
(By the way, if you'd be willing to share any more routines, I'd love it :D)

Ah, let me check which version of that routine I uploaded. One used a pointer stored in a temporary RAM address and the other just used plotSScreen. I forgot Scout's tool converted to decimal, not hex. Oh, and I'm working on more ideas :D

The one using plotSScreen would be nice.
