Title: The Z80 Files (A tutorial)
Post by: ACagliano on June 15, 2012, 09:25:16 pm: I got Unit 1 of my comprehensive z80 tutorial up at Google Docs. The link is below. It is open to revision by all, so feel free to edit away. I actually want it to be longer.

Post by: aeTIos on June 16, 2012, 08:10:57 am: Well I read the first part of it and I really like the style ^^ however isnt the ans varable accessible by pressing [2nd][0]? Changing that now.
Edit: I also changed "TiLp" to "TILP". Are there any more things you want in it? I could help writing a bit. Maybe on error messages.
Also, is this meant to be a programming tutorial or a tutorial on how to use your TI-83+ series calculator?

Post by: ACagliano on June 16, 2012, 09:26:45 am: It starts off with things that the average non-programmer can use, then breaks off into three more units on Z80 programming.

Sure, you can throw in error messages somewhere.

Post by: aeTIos on June 18, 2012, 12:54:25 pm: Darn, what error messages should I put in? I mean, the one I have to "fix" most is ERR: ARCHIVED. Other than that, I don't know which errors are as common?

Post by: Nick on June 18, 2012, 01:02:55 pm: nonreal ans, syntax error, divide by 0 :)

Post by: aeTIos on June 19, 2012, 10:44:27 am: Ok :) Will write a part about that.
Is it ok to write it this way: [general error description part blah blah] Here are some common errors and how to fix them [error][caused by][howtofix]?
Title: Re: The Z80 Files (A tutorial)
Post by: blue_bear_94 on June 19, 2012, 11:02:39 am: Add Archived, Undefined, and Invalid Dim.

Post by: ben_g on June 19, 2012, 02:37:27 pm: Maybe you should add in the connect to computer section that any USB A to USB mini B cable works, so you can take one from a digital camera, a playstation, an external hard drive,...

Post by: aeTIos on June 19, 2012, 02:39:49 pm: Yup. The one I'm using now? I don't even know what it's from.

Title: Re: The Z80 Files (A tutorial)
Post by: aeTIos on June 25, 2012, 01:57:37 am: Well, you can pm him I think. He's in Russia atm (iirc)
Title: Re: The Z80 Files (A tutorial)
Post by: ACagliano on June 26, 2012, 10:26:41 am: I have PM'd him. If he's away, he's away. Its just that we did kind of a tradeoff. I do some maps for him and he does some Zelda finishing touches for me. I'm not really concerned about Zelda atm, but I do want to get the maps I made him to him. He may not like the fact that I've only done 3 (the last set is actually a double), but I do work over the summer. lol.
