Yeah, they seem to be having server issues lately. But at least the MySQL database doesn't go down virtually every day, like on 000 (the site relies on it for Projects, Membership, and a host of other things).

hey there...

I'm quite new to these forums but i thought it would be nice to share the thing around :

A few weeks ago, i digged out a project that was sleeping for too long.
It's called "asmdream" and is, in fact, an (other) on-calc asm compiler for the 8X+ series.
So, nothing revolutionnary, but it has its particularities (wanted to make something new).

The main challenge here was to make it able to convert token-based sources directly into machine code.
For the ease of use, i was forced to define a simplified syntax because of the large font usage and lack of readability of the tios prgm editor.
But don't worry, i made it very instinctive so we're not so far from tasm.

It is supposed to handle, at least :
- all z80 instructions (undocumented included)
- includes
- labels
- equates (nesting allowed)
- macros with parameters (nesting allowed)
- bases conversions : binary/decimal/hexadecimal/ascii/token
- arithmetic operators : positive/negative/addition/substraction
- read from flash (sources/includes)

For obvious reasons, i do my best to optimize it in favor of space (about 2K for now) but i'm still amazed how fast it does the job.
I work on it many hours per day but it's still hard to tell when it'll see the light (progress maybe around let's say... 50%).

I'll use this thread to post news and (hope not) ask for help.
Also, don't hesitate if you've some questions/suggestions.
