Yeah, I'm starting this, going to attempt to follow through.

I currently have:


Code:


This compiles and runs and displays and hooray.

Now I need to figure out where to take this next.

Yay, hooray! Clearly you're working with the monochrome calculators for now; it that your plan for the time being? Actually, that code, while functional, has a few mistakes, something we've fixed in the upcoming ASM in 28 Days. Specifically, ASM in 28 Days originally mixed pencol/penrow, which is for the graphscreen, with _PutS, which is for the homescreen. You can solve this one of two ways:
(1) Change Pencol to Curcol. Curcol and currow are the cursor coordinates for the homescreen, while pencol and penrow are the cursor coordinates for the graphscreen.
(2) Change _Puts to _VPuts, and remove the _Newline call. This would make the text display on the graphscreen.

Hope this helps.

From what I'm gathering from yourself, geekboy, and other asm programmers, it would be easier if I get the concepts down on the monochrome first and then shifted gears over to the CSE.

And thanks for the information. I've tried accessing the newer version of asm in 28 days, but git stuff confuses me and I was unable to get at any of the pages. Would be nice if that stuff went live at Cemetech.net/asm28days/<page>

I will implement fixes to that and see what I get

This page exists: http://media.taricorp.net/83pa28d/lesson/toc.html

Specifically, you can see the corrected Hello, World code from the updated version at the following link:

Code:


I played around with CurRow for fun, I'll see about making it work on the graphscreen tomorrow, something something sleep.

Need to figure out where to take it from here.

Woo have fun, learning ASM is a blast Plenty of people around to help, and it's very satisfying to get the hang of!

ASM is just the best! Good luck on your journey!

Thanks guys I'm looking forward to getting to my ASM project I want to work on.


Code:


Works well for graphscreen text \o/ Thanks for the heads up on that, Kerm!

Great! Just a note, though: remember that CurCol and CurRow are for the homescreen, and PenCol and PenRow are for the graphscreen.

Right, right :< I was hurrying around when I did that, whoops! ^^; It shall be fixed!

I'm also hosting a copy of Asm in 28 days: http://codinghobbit.no-ip.org/83Asm/welcome

Out of curiosity, what's the legality of all these people re-hosting ASM in 28 Days? I know this is not the topic for it, but I was surprised when I went to search for the tutorial to send the download link to someone, and the ticalc.org link was the third link. I'd make sure the license actually allows it to be re-published online arbitrarily.

It's GFDL, so as long as the license information is retained it's fine. See also.
