Re: A86: Tutorials
Visit our website, and vist 86 Central (ti86.acz.org). What tutorials have
you been reading? Matt Johnson's are very easy to understand, and if you
can understand Dux (don't get me wrong, they're great, they explain tons of
stuff, but I think Matt's are a little easier if you only know basic and are
new to prgramming), then you can learn alot.
BASIC to Asm isn't exactly the easiest way to go. Alot of the stuff done in
basic is very hard to do with asm (like floating point math, input, etc.).
Asm is good for games and stuff, but if you are just writting a little math
program, use basic. Why? Because basic was designed for writing math
programs. Math does in asm won't be that much faster, compared to other
stuff.
A $ in front of a number tells the assembler it's in hex...
