There once was a proram called Compiler 85 that let you compile Zshell games
on the calc. The down side is you have to hand compile them which takes
FOREVER! :o)
Like on the ti-86 you can use the ti86.asm included file as a reference and
the z80.tab included file.
Then when you write the program you just copy teh Hex coeds from the
included file to the program and run it like a normal zshell program.

Example:



         :ASMPRGM
         :CD824A
         :210300
         :220FC0
         :215BD7
         :CD374A
         :CD5F4A
         :C9
         :48656C6C6F20576F726C6400
;
;
; Below is the source code for the above object
; code
;
;
    org   _asm_exec_ram
;
    call    _clrscrn
    ld      hl,3
    ld      (_currow),hl   ; row 3 col 0
    ld      hl,hello_world
    call    _puts          ; write the msg
    call    _newline       ; move down a line
    ret                    ; return from prog
;
hello_world:
    db      'Hello World',0


All of the commands like ld a, 0 and calls use opcodes that represent the
command.

I know this is hard to understand, but just think about it for a while and
you will see what I mean.
