Oops: 7 T-States if condition is false

Also, .org 40339 should be changed to .org $9D93, because RAM addresses are generally expressed in hexadecimal.
Um... you might want to see this

Don't worry about it Ralphdspam.  The topic wasn't up at that time.

Miscellaneous / How many incomplete projects?
« on: March 06, 2011, 05:23:45 pm »
So what projects do you have that are incomplete but not dead?  Also, are you working on all of them at once, a little bit each time, or do you work on one, finish it, and then switch to another?

I have Correlation, my ASM lessons (fixing typos) and S.A.D.  I am working on one and finish it, and then switch to another

1114
Yeah, something like that.  +1 for both of you

But I won't be able to do it immediately, sadly, I have a lot going on

1115
By the way, thank you all for your comments and for listening to my side of the story, and I apologize if I offended anyone

I'm in the $9D95 camp. I just feel everything works out better for everyone if we use the accepted and widely-held convention of hex for addresses. :) No hard feelings that you disagree.

Hmmm, you have a point, because when people ask for help it is easier for people they ask to see $9D95.  I think I'll make a note of that in Tutorial 4

I up-rated your post, but I think it could have been done slightly nicer.  When you say this, it makes you seem like an expert on everything.  

Interesting.  Yeah, it could be nicer, and I knew it even while I was typing it up.  But it's not me seeming liking an expert.  It's frustration because everyone's telling me "No, you need to do it this way!" as if THEY are experts on everything.


EDIT: Thanks for pointing this out, though, because I tried to be a good sport, and I know now that I wasn't

I can't wait to see a game or something!  So why did this not take as long as the Nspire to "hack"?

There have been a lot of people that have asked me why I choose to use .org 40339 to start ASM programs in my lessons.  I wrote this up because I hope that people who read it will understand why, even if they themselves don't like it.

I know that most of the time, RAM addresses are stated as hexadecimal, and indeed, when hexadecimal is introduced in my ASM lessons, I switch to .org $9D93.

But is it absolutely necessary?  Will the universe or the person's calculator explode if I use 40339?  These lessons are for the absolute beginner!  BEGINNER!  Why on earth does it matter whether I use hexadecimal or decimal at the beginning?  Let me repharse: why am I making a big deal out of this?

Well, do you know why my lessons are successful?  Because I expalin to people exactly how everything works and I make it easy for them.  Read my third lesson on RAM addresses, where I explain and help people understand what ram addresses are.  Then ask yourself: Which is easier to understand, that the ASM program starts at the 40339th byte of the calculator?  Or that the ASM program starts at the 9D93th byte?  When I show what compiled ASM programs look like, is it easier for a beginner to count in decimal, or in hexadecimal?

You can disagree with me as much as you want, but if you read this, please don't bug me on the "method to my madness."  No hard feelings, but I just hear it so many times that I start to feel like I'm an idiot for not "following the rules."  Whatever the case, my  lessons have not lost popularity from choosing to use decimal numbers.

Also for Zerg, I hope they do something about the late anti-air. In silver league I remember everyone did bancheese and void cheese, so you had to tech to lair asap and get hydras most of the time. X.x

That would be nice, but I don't think it's very likely.  I know how you feel, but most people have not had that kind of problem.  I myself have gotten out of that kind of situation almost 100% of the time

I don't think medievacs should disappear, but they should be made much more expensive or require an extra upgrade. Not too much either, though, so people can still do drops.

Actually, I was thinking regular dropships

6. I wonder if mind control will return? I think zerg can do that, right?

Zerg mind control is temporary.  The Dark Archon mind control is permanent.

4. I love Devourers, though I'm sure a lot of these units are going to be campaign only
5. Medics are toast against banelings, so good.  Medivacs were invented to keep up with reapers, and few people use reapers.  Also, it seems that people get dropships automatically because they need medivacs, and thus it's like "oh, and we've got dropships too.  This will be easy to harass with!"  I really hope medivacs go bye-bye
6. Why? Not many people used Dark Archons except for feedback.  If malestorm has a larger area, that might be something
7. I hope Kerrigan is not going to be infested again.  I keep imagining Zeratul says to Jim, "James, you're supposed to protect her, but she's not supposed to be human" And then Sarah sadly has to force herself to become infested again

* Don't make the user download a required file.  If a game requires Xlib, include Xlib.  If it requires Celtic III, don't make the user download Celtic III.  "Batteries not included" is not a good option.

I don't know who discovered this equation, but I call it the "mosquito curve" and I found it by accident.  (This is in polar graphing)

r = sin(cos(tan(theta)))

Lol, I do that too XD But r=sin(sin(sin(tan(θ is better.

Another fun thing to do is Y=sin(cos(tan(X, change it to Dot mode, then set the window range to (-50,50) and (-1.25,0.75). It's a nearly perfect butterfly O.O

"Nearly" is a good word, because there is an actual "butterfly curve."  (It's called that, too.)  Although I forgot the equation for the butterfly curve.
