Crabcake for Axe
« on: May 18, 2011, 10:51:18 pm »
You can now use Crabcake to turn Axe programs into ASM programs that will run at more than 8KB.  You will need to compile your Axe program under a shell such as Ion.

If you want only Crabcake for Axe, you can get it here:

However, I made some important fixes to the original Crabcake, so you can get the whole kitten-kaboodle here:

You are allowed to use this axiom for the axe contest.  However, it requires a lot of program space, so don't use it unless you know for sure that your ASM program will need more than 8KBs.

Since I'm not a z80 programmer and I only read about axe and such stuff my knowledge might be not so brilliant. So forgive me if this question sounds stupid:
Why would you want to convert an axe program to asm?

Compiled axe programs are already asm.  :)

Hot_Dog, why do you need the AxesOff?  Couldn't you do something similar to what I do with the app header where you call the main program as a subroutine.  Something like this:

Code: [Select]
AxesOn:
  #asm code here
  call mainprog
AxesOff:
  #asm code here
  ret
MainProg:

That way you only need one command at the beginning and the users could use ret just like they're used to.  I don't know how the source looks though, so maybe there is something preventing this I don't know about?  Anyway, nice job!

Because I didn't think about that.  It certainly would have saved me--and programmers--a lot of trouble.  I'll definitely have to fix that...

In the meantime, it works quite well, so I'll wait until after the contest and post an "update".  Every calculator programmer releases something better and easier after a time, so I don't see a reason to "rush" the update.

I'm not sure exactly how relavent this is, but when I compile a game for a shell (which Crabcake requires, so this is somewhat relavent) it replaces the letters in the text with random garbage.

This is really great, Hot_Dog! I like how someone has finally set out to fix this.

However, when I tried it on my 83 Plus (OS 1.19), on Eitrix (9100 bytes with Crabcake, 8700 bytes without), the game crashed immediately when it started running, as if it had broken the fourth wall already. Could you please look into this?

I can definitely look into it.  I'm assuming that your game worked perfectly fine before you put crabcake on?  Also, can I see your source?

Awesome tool, thanks. I just wonder how to use AxesOnr/Offr. Axe Parser says "Bad Symbol".

I think that's my fault.  I forgot to test that before the release :(
