Today, after reading about some contest entries to a contest to produce an awful four-function calculator.
Inspired, I decided to make my own.
Here it is, the Bitulator.
Beware, use it too many times without exiting the program, and the stack can start corrupting stuff. When it starts displaying noncharacters instead of numbers, that's a good sign it's about time to quit.
The source is also attached, in case you like your sources in 8xp form

What the!?
EDIT: Ooh, I wonder how much it takes to cause the stack to overflow...
-
According to geekboy, it'll take about 40 subroutine calls for the stack to start overwriting stuff, meaning that you have about nine or ten calculations to use before it starts overwriting stuff. I think.

What does it do?
-
It calculates.

calculates stuff like normal 4-function calculator XD

I wonder if it is possible to write a z80 emulator for calcs. Of course it would be slow as crap but.....

Yeong "Bridge" Jin_Cool:
Almost right: It's an ABnormal 4func calculator!

And actually the fact that the CPU is virtually Identical lends to faster speeds than you'd expect. TI-Boy is another example of a fairly speedy z80 emu for the 84+.
