What is ORG?

ORG is an online IDE and assembler for Z80 projects, especially those for the TI-83 Plus–series calculators. Type your source code into the syntax-coloring editor, press Build, and download a fresh-baked program right out of the sidebar.

What can I do with it?

The ORG IDE lets you manage an entire project at a time, with as many individual text files as you want. The project source can be edited, assembled and linked (Build), zipped and downloaded (Download), BBify'd (BBCode), and saved online (Save). The GUI features tabbed files, five syntax themes, and an activity log. Drag tabs around to rearrange them, double-click them to rename, and click the X to close.

How does the assembling work?

When you press Build, each file is sent to the server and saved temporarily. (It also implies the Save action if you're logged in.) The first file in the file list (the one with an orange bar on top) is the one that is parsed first, and its filename is converted into the program name. Other files are parsed when they are included with the #include directive (see the section on directives below). You are allowed to include any files you have created, as well as select files built in to ORG: ti83plus.inc. After a few seconds, the script should be done assembling your project. View the logs in the sidebar and click the download link to download your 8XP file.

What does the assembler support?

It's largely complete, but I'm still actively working on adding new features. Most of the features you'd expect to be available in a Z80 assembler—macros, conditional statements, include files, and so on—are already implemented. The syntax is similar to Spasm's. Here is a complete list of supported hash directives:

• #include "filename" or #include <filename>
• #define variable value or #define macro(args) lines \ of \ code
• #if expression
• #ifdef variable
• #ifndef variable
• #elseif expression
• #elseifdef variable
• #elseifndef variable
• #else
• #endif
• .end
• .org pointer
• .block bytes
• .fill bytes,value
• .db data or .byte data
• .dw data or .word data
• .echo expression

What's in a name?

ORG stands for "ORG's Really Great!" It's also a pun on the .org directive.

No other reason?

Nope.

Are you planning to make programs runnable online in the future? That would be great for me when I need to show other people asm programming.

^This. There used to be one on Netham45 server, but it was too bandwidth-intensive (every calc frame were generated on server side and then you downloaded them 10 times per second) and I think he had to host the ROMs himself, so he got rid of it.

I played around with this a bit earlier. It is quite nice, and you've done an excellent job with it! =)

Wow, this is great! I am just curious... is there any possibility in the future to include these features:

-Compiling to an APP
-Making shared projects (so several members of a team could work on it)

That would raise the level of epicness in my book to astounding o.o

This is still cool o.o Is there also some way where I can make very specific names? Like I know when I was making Grammer, for a while in development it was called GRAMMER until I figured out how to use a Brass command to change it to Grammer.

EDIT: Also, BatLib uses weird symbols

Yes, that would be great! Also, how do I go about changing the name of a project?

Awesome, thank you much! Now I can get to work
