HLA for calc
« on: October 21, 2010, 04:44:19 pm »
Well, maybe it would improve people to learn asm, and also help some to improve their productivity ...

I don't mean exactly like HLA, but a standard library with HL for the actual process.

I've never heard of this before, but it sounds cool if it involves people learning ASM -- the hardest set of languages you can program in today.  ;D

Can you explain what HLA is exactly? ;)

Sure, HLA stands for High Level Assembly,
what is it? and why it can be helpful?

HLA is just the normal asm but it does have a very optimized library, in which you have a lot of High levels stuff,
like if, while ...

with these functions, you won't have to spend a lot of time to do this, and will have more time to spend in what is really necessary. Moreover as it is in asm your code will be much faster than one in another language //it can be slower than another asm program but, it depends much on the optimization of that library.

He didn't said it may not be helpful, kyllopardium. I think you misinterpreted ASHBAD ALVIN post. IIt would indeed be useful if it's done properly. There was TI-Power Gold and Ezasm back in the days but they gave compiling errors. Are you planning to work on this, by the way?

Those questions that i did, was just for a explanation more interactive.

Yes I am planing to work on it, but you shouldn't expect anything soon, as I am learning asm for calcs...

Yeah, he seemed fine in the way he responded.  I take no offense whatsoever.  His way of explaining was just a bit more like what yuo would see in a google advertisement rather than a direct address. :D

And, sounds like a cool project.  What calc is this for?

Ah ok I see :D

Well good luck. I failed at learning ASM but a lot of people managed to do it. Check Asm in 28 days and Hot Dog tutorials if you are gonna learn 83+ ASM. For the TI-Nspire I do not know what tutorials there are, though.

ASM in 28 days is really a tough read, it took me three goes before I got it all.  If you have any questions about ASM I can answer them ;)

As my calc is a nspire and I like more the nspire keypad,
 I am planing to do this to be for arm asm, but the resource that I've found for arm is quite advanced,
so first I am going to learn with hotdog's then learn how do it in arm, so I can do it.

which means, i will be done, but not much sooner...

Oh if It's for the Nspire you may want to stick to ARM tutorials. z80 is a 8 bit processor so it's different from ARM ASM I am fairly sure. You could check the ASM section for tutorials or check Google for some. I believe the Nspire has an ARM9 processor, right?
