A86: Re: Re: Assembly-86 Digest V1 #1078




Dude..... this is a VERY good site! How long did this take you? It is all
organized and looks very good! Keep up the good work.

And, I will always refer people to your tutorials. Wish I had them when I
started learning!

try the site called http://guide.iwarp.com.  i just
uploaded it a little bit ago.  it's a little tutorial and it
covers that stuff you're asking about.

let me know if you find any errors on it or if anything
is unclear.  i'm still working on it.

you can't on the calculator.  there was a program for the computer
called something like tibas (or something close to that) which would
take your ti-basic program and convert it to assembler.  i think it just
redid common commands and would replace them with assembler
code.  it did speed up some programs.  if you want it, do a search
at www.ticalc.org, i'm sure they still have it.  if you still can't find
it, i'll
look for it (i downloaded the ticalc.org archives) and email it to you.

there's a section called variables at http://guide.iwarp.com.  (the
links may be funny at the index page but you can always just
go to the old version at http://guide.iwarp.com/variables/variables.htm
and check it out.  you have to use assembler code to edit variables
outside the program you're working on.  you can also just put
the storage space inside your program.  in the intermediate section
there is a page on variables that discusses exactly what you want. the
address is http://guide.iwarp.com/intermediate/vari.htm and it talks
about variables that are permanent (e.g. high scores) and ones
that are temporary (e.g. speed of a car in a racing game) with routines
on how to work with them.  (note: i just looked at that page and i
realized
that it's not done at the bottom.  i'll try to finish it up tomorrow or
something
but exams are in a week.)

using assembly studio (http://guide.iwarp.com/download/download.htm or
www.acz.org) you (1)put the cursor where you want a sprite, (2)click
on 'edit' from the file menu, (3)select 'insert sprite', (4)choose the
dimensions
of the sprite, and (5)hit enter.  you can change the label if you want.
