When is the new programming compo going to start?

Needless to say, this looks amazing. You even left in the greyscale gem!

I know that disassemblers just return the various addresses and hex codes. That's all an ASM program is, a bunch of numbers. Unless you know the specific address where the variable is stored, there is no way to tell the difference between a variable or an instruction, because there is no difference.

I myself am a huge Commander Keen fan, and I find it dissapointing how whenever iD's history is mentioned, Commander Keen doesn't get much more that a passing remark and then they go on to mention all the (great) FPS. As for the Vtales' engine, it looks quite impressive. The heretic engine sounds li...

The ASCII caster is great! It's always fun to see something random pop up, especially if it's fun to play with! This reminds me of wolf5k.com

If you want to add A to any 2-byte register and can't destroy any other registers besides A:

Another good "article" about optimization is http://www.ticalc.org/pub/text/z80/z80opt.zip
It takes the examples and explanations further than most other articles.

You might want to check out http://www.shiar.org/ticalcs/z80optim.php for many optimizations. Fast ways to divide A by powers of 2: div_2: srl a ret div_4: rra rra and %00111111 ret div_8: rra rra rra and %00011111 ret div_16: rra rra rra rra and %00001111 ret div_32: rlca rlca rlca and %00000111 re...

Will there be a code counter, like the one in "Assembly Studio 8x", where you could highlight a section of code, click a button, and it would tell you the total size and clock cycles of the selected code? It helps so much when optimising.

Data1 and data2 .ect are either 8-bit numbers or registers. ld hl,addr+3 ld (hl),$01 dec hl ld (hl),$FA dec hl ld (hl),d dec hl ld (hl),7 Now the data at location addr looks like this: addr: .db 7 .db (whatever number was in register d) .db $FA .db $01 You can't directly load the data from one locat...

There arn't any commands like "ld (hl+3),$5A" so you do something like this: ld hl,addr+3 ld (hl),data4 dec hl ld (hl),data3 dec hl ld (hl),data2 dec hl ld (hl),data1 Now the data at location addr looks like this: addr: .db data1 .db data2 .db data3 .db data4 And because hl points to addr,...

Tasm 3.2 didn't seem to make a difference, so i figure there must be something I could do with equates or the .org thing, but I'd rater stop wasting time trying to fix my programming setup, and just deal with it. But if someone who has sucessfuly included subroutines from different files before coul...

They are all in the same directory. Could it be that I have a older version of TASM that is causing the problem?

My program is well below the 8.8k limit. I would really like to keep these routines in seperate files, it keeps everything so much more organized. Acelgoyobis and Firetrack 2 both have executable code in include files, so I don't understand what TASM has against me. And yes, all the files I am inclu...
