I have a question about page 10 from lesson 7.

If you check that A <= 90 shouldn't the ASM equivalent be CP 91 instead of CP 89?
Since you check for the C flag condition, if A were 90 or 89 it wouldn't be set.

You're right!

Just a reminder: I've had a lot of people copying and pasting example programs.  If you do that, DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THE LINE #include "ti83plus.inc"  You will get an error if you do not retype it yourself.

Hah, that reminds me of me :P

Why does it cause an error? Is it because you use a different unicode character?

Yes, the quotations marks in the .pdf are not the same quotation marks as quotation marks that should be used in Assembly programs

Ah ok. I had issues with quotes before in VB classes. The keyboards typed the french quotes that looks like << and >> instead of ". Windows 98 even changed " to << automatically. It made Visual Basic 6.0 programming a major pain until they found a way to fix it.

Portuguese used to be << >> too :S

Looks like in my hurry I forgot to pack my ASM tutorials to make the final changes.  I'm tired of waiting to put the files on ticalc.org and host them here, so I'm just going to look through the files, place the mistakes in the "Changes that couldn't make it" .txt file and leave it at that.

You mean the tutorials doesn't include the latest updates? I guess for now that could work and if later you have the motivation to update the files then you can do it. It can be annoying to upload again and again. X.x

Hey everyone.  First of all, I want to thank Hot_Dog for making this tutorial.  It's been very helpful so far, and it's increased my interest in joining this community.

So here's my problem.  When I compile all of the code written up to the end of Lesson 11, I get a bunch of junk like this:

Code: [Select]
C:\Documents and Settings\*\Desktop\TI stuff\ASM_programming\ti83plus.inc:316
7: warning: redefinition of 'TPOLARG'
C:\Documents and Settings\*\Desktop\TI stuff\ASM_programming\ti83plus.inc:316
7: warning: previous definition of 'TPOLARG' was here
C:\Documents and Settings\*\Desktop\TI stuff\ASM_programming\ti83plus.inc:316
8: warning: redefinition of 'TRECTG'
C:\Documents and Settings\*\Desktop\TI stuff\ASM_programming\ti83plus.inc:316
8: warning: previous definition of 'TRECTG' was here
C:\Documents and Settings\*\Desktop\TI stuff\ASM_programming\ti83plus.inc:316
9: warning: redefinition of 'TCOORDON'
C:\Documents and Settings\*\Desktop\TI stuff\ASM_programming\ti83plus.inc:316
9: warning: previous definition of 'TCOORDON' was here
C:\Documents and Settings\*\Desktop\TI stuff\ASM_programming\ti83plus.inc:317
0: warning: redefinition of 'TCOORDOFF'
C:\Documents and Settings\*\Desktop\TI stuff\ASM_programming\ti83plus.inc:317
0: warning: previous definition of 'TCOORDOFF' was here
C:\Documents and Settings\*\Desktop\TI stuff\ASM_programming\ti83plus.inc:317
1: warning: redefinition of 'TDRAWLINE'
C:\Documents and Settings\*\Desktop\TI stuff\ASM_programming\ti83plus.inc:317
1: warning: previous definition of 'TDRAWLINE' was here

Similar messages are repeated for pretty much every line of the ti83plus.inc file.  Apparently, the code still compiles fine, though, because spasm still gives me a working .8xp file that displays the menu text exactly like it's supposed to.  Furthermore, every other ASM program I've written has compiled without giving me these warning messages, and I am using the fixed include file that Hot_Dog posted earlier.  I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea what's going on here, and if so, tell me how I can fix it.  Thanks!

Hmm, are you sure you didn't accidentally include it twice?

Yep, that was it.  I included it in one of the other files.  Thanks!  Now I'll know why this error pops up in the future  :P

Heya LBlock! Welcome on the forums! Don't forget to introduce yourself in the tortureintroduction forum. ;D Also I'm glad you're interested in calc programming. I can't wait to see what you want to work on. :)

I know, this is a necropost. :P

I just want to thank you so much, Hot_Dog!  Your lessons have been fun and educational at the same time.  Your lessons were well thought out and well written. 

I have tried other ASM tutorials, but this is the first one I have actually understood. 

After reading your lessons, I can understand 28 days and many other great tutorials. 
There is really no way to fully express my gratitude.  Thank you.  :D
