ASM tool for BASIC programmers

I dunno if this would be easy. Not much people did that before. If he does it maybe this would conflict with Omnicalc... but wait, if he does that this mean this would be faster so we would not need omnicalc except in Grayscale games

but first program the basic functions, then the more complex after

Bram, i emailed you about your xLIB request. Im not sure the source will help you that much as it doesnt do anything with strings at all.

Yea, i replied, i already know how to take it from strings now, but i still need to know how to do some other stuff which is in ur routines...

Ok then, i will post the source as soon as i get it off my other machine.

I said this at EPS, but I figured I'd say it here too:
Another useful routine would be the rectangle drawing function from CODEX.

Yeah! Also if you could make rectangles able to be dither-filled (every other pixel is on).

This is a really sweet project!! I cant wait till it's done.

It will give basic programmers lots of add power!

It would be nice if nonregular polygons were supported for drawling (and could be filled) example syntax: A (the number of the function), #of sides, fill collor (black/white/invert), starting X, starting Y, next X, next Y...and then the infamous asm( symbol

I tell ya man, this is gonna kick ass. I'll be using it in all my programs. lets hear it for the lazy BASIC programmers who cant/wont learn ASM!

I resent that comment.

A Basic programmer can decide if he learns ASM or not, but if he doesnt it doesnt mean he's lazy... And i'm glad people are looking forward too it

I have another idea for a feature, though I think it would be difficult/impossible to do:
You enter a string into Ans. The first character of that string is the type of variable "P" for program, "L" for list, etc. Then type the name of the variable. Then what you want to enter into that variable. This is all entred into one string (not acually entered into a string var, but into Ans). Thhen when asm(prgmEBL is called, it would store that data into that variable. So to store code into program A:
"P,A,While 1:Disp A:End":Asm(prgmEBL would make prgmA look like this:

While 1
Disp A
End

Or

"L,1,1,1,3

would make L1 equal {1,1,3.

That would be cool. And if the program exists, just don't do anything?

Post by **tr1p1ea** » Wed 06 Apr, 2005 5:39 am

Well that would be possible but it mght be difficult as you would have to match the ti-ascii in the string to the relavent BASIC instructions.

Actually, I forgot to mention, you could also have another argument at the beginning, whether to save or load. If you do save, it would store that data into the variable, if you did load you woulnd't enter any dat after the arguments, and if the variable as a program it would run it, if it was a bitmap it would display it, if it was a list it would store it into Ans, etc.
