Re: A86: An idea for an ASM program




Ok, one parameter is fine, and I will leave it up to the programer who takes
this project on as to what it will be.  This would be such a neat thing to
alow for beeps and such for TI-Basic pong games, although I do know that
Basic pong games really suck, as do the basic tetris games, but it would be
fun to try, maybe someone could use it to invent a basic version of the
keyboard program for ZShell.  I don't know, it could be used for many
things, maybe for math programs that take several minutes or so to perform a
complex operation, you could plug in the speaker, and when the program was
finished doing what it was doing, it would beep to tell you it was done...
