DragonOS

I have a question: I got a book from the library about z80 ASM that was written in 1979. Would I still be able to use that for calculator ASM if I figure out the similarities? Because if I can I'd like to help you with DragonOS in any way I can.

Now that would be awsome. I wonder what kind of stuff they have in a book that old? I think the processor in the 83 plus is some different version of the zilog processor though, so I don't know if it would work (ask Jbirk, or its probably all over the DetachedSolutions forum)

through a custom math routine, he could have.

Do you mean like where you would store the results in lists, and work the math mainly with for loops?
I tried creating a program to calculate pi in BASIC like that, but I eventually gave up. I just did in Java with BigDecimal, because that class does it automatically for you.

um, to say the truth, come to think of it, i might have gotten that answer from my friend's comp as i was at his house without my calc (have no clue how i forgot it Razz

)
anyways, i would be happy for all the help i can get. now that im learning asm, im starting to wonder if i should finish up the basic version or just go to asm. i thisk i should just go to asm though. dont forget to check out my forums! The DragonFire Forums keep in mind i havent changed the logo yet, as i got it from someone else. i plan to though, soon

its official, DragonOS will go to asm, pure nostub asm. maybe once we get an asm version done, we will go to an app, as to not hog program space.

ok, so far, DragonOS is me,Adm.Wiggin,JWales, and JAC Studios.
any other takers?

btw, JAC Studios, i learned all i know about asm from this forum and here

ok, this is the splash screen (unless, of course, someone can make a better one):

The only thing that could POSSIBLY make that better would be some animation. Other than that, it looks amazing! Nice job.

I'm a taker! I might not be able to make a MirageOS emulator, but I can list programs, run ION programs, etc.
