Thank you
The calculator seems great, but one thing really bugs me as a developer. Binary, decimal, and HEX conversions are all at maximum 16 bits. I know 16bit processors do have their purpose in some applications, but I work mostly on 32bit. I can do Most of the conversion without a calculator but tend to do sanity checks. Looks like a special application is called for here too

Hello everyone! I'm a game developer with nearly a decade of experience now, and I've been trying to branch out to different programming languages such as C++. It's nice to meet you all!

I have been a Ti83/Ti84 fanatic for years. I love the challenge of programming z80 directly on the calculator through AsmPrgm/AsmComp()/Asm(). It is such a pure architecture and a great way to teach others about computer science. I am currently working in meatspace with a few guys who are psyched about learning. Most of the programs I have done aren't really worth sharing. For instance, during COVID, I challenged myself to sit and build a Tetris clone with only the 28 day docs and the z80 instruction set/hex codes printed out, and hand compiled all of it, typing it into my Ti84 Plus SE as I went just for the challenge. Miracle: it worked! But I want to take this passion and network a little bit, maybe find a way to contribute to some projects.

*kind of starstruck about Kerm still being active here!*

Welcome to Cemetech, spaceboy! Hand-writing z80 assembly is a great way to understand the basics of computer architecture and computer science (although once you understand it and have proven you can do it, I believe in switching to the easier ways to do things with the computer-side tools that exist). I'm sure your contributions to existing projects, or new projects you want to start yourself, will be welcome: if you haven't already, take a look at our Your Projects subforum and our recent Projects of the Month news articles.

And I'm very glad to still be active here!

Thanks for the welcome. Can you recommend an assembler program (!=app) that works on ti83P/it84P? Is there a section dedicated to on-calc toolchain?
Can't wait to get a little more involved!

Don't learn assembly programming on calc, use a computer. If you want to understand the concepts of assembly to give you more of a background, and still have close to the same performance, I would recommend learning the Axe Parser.

...Hi, I guess. As of now, I'm mostly a consumer of others' programs since I don't know hardly any Asm yet and I'm not too great at C, but I'm trying to learn both. I'm decent at Basic and can understand C well enough to sometimes debug other programs.
Yep, that's me.

Welcome to the community and keep up the practice. A great way to learn is to take apart other people's programs and even edit them to fit your needs(just don't publish an edited version without permission).
