Re: A86: Re: Assembly-86 Digest V1 #532
Good luck, that is a big first program to write. Writting in asm is very
different from BASIC. You can do anything you want, but it requires a
completely different way of thinking. Try these sites:

http://www.calpoly.edu/~tllilleh/a86/a86.html
And http://www.stupidzone.com/asmstudio/ if you use Win95/NT.
You can access variables in asm if you want to use lists to store points
(if that's what you are doing). If it is only integers, lists are a huge
waste of space. You'd probably be better off storing them in the program
or in strings. Assembly Studio comes with the include files and online
help for all of the op routines. Check out TI's page for more help with that:
