I don't belive you can store to <theta> with Axe.  At least, I couldn't do it in version 0.1.2.

LOL. SirCmpwn, the point of that entire post was that <theta> was a bad symbol. It was just an example.

250th post.
FINALLY!

LOL. In the bathroom.

[ontopic]I would like it if linking could be available through Axe soon. Get() and Send() are mocking me.[/ontopic]

Well, you can only send two bits at a time, and you don't have to recieve at the right second, either.
Although, I'm not a guru on linking.  I know that the ports on each calc mimic each other, so it might be a good idea to assign a random bit, high or low, to each calculator, in which case you can only send one bit at a time.

^oh, i see.  Does the hardware ack or the software ack?

Well, there are two link lines, but only one bit can be sent at once. The sending calculator pulls either line A or line B low, depending on the value of the bit being sent. The receiving calculator acknowledges by pulling the other line low. Then the sending calc lets its line up, and the receiving calc lets its line up.

just one bit, not even byte? Darn, now to send an entire byte...

Heh, yeaah once we write a bit sending routine, we use it to write a byte sending routine Haha the joys of asm ^^

I was reading about linking, and would it be faster to have one line be a clock, and then the other line be the bit to be sent?  When the receiving calc detects a change in the clock line, it inputs the bit line into memory.  Seems like it would be faster?  I'm just theorizing tho

The problem here is that bits may be skipped. Not good

Linking is very easy.  I could add that feature literally in about 10 minutes.  I already made the routines when I made puyo puyo.  Actually coding it well with Axe Basic to get the link synchronized is going to be tricky on the programming side though.  I have spring break coming up next week.  I'll definitely finish the beta sometime around then and I'll have most of these commands working.
