Well here is the code a day late.


Code:


And the printf does seem a little complicated. But i will see what i can do later on.

Since all you have after "done" is ret, you can replace all the "jr done"s with "ret"s

125 bites before. 117 after.

Also to save space and make it faster do:

Code:

etc.
And in your routines you can take advantage of the fact that a will be 0 when they are called.

Thanks. That knocked off six more bytes. I tried adding in the input routine but i was having trouble. What happens is it displays wierd characters. And yes i realize i already asked this in another topic but it is the same exact code and it still isnt working.


Code:

Those should be quotation marks if you're using my assembler, not apostrophes.

That fixed it a little. Now whenever i type a string the first letter is correct but the rest are messed up.

Edit: Got that fixed. Now i just have to figure out how to write the data to str0.

I changed the code a little so that the string isnt set to a limited length. I also made it so you can press del and it will go to the previous character so you can overwrite it. Here is the code i am using.


Code:


To save it i think i have an idea on how to do it. Would i check for str0 delete it if it exists, then load a with length then bc with a. Then do an ldir.

Edit: I am having trouble getting it to delete str0. For some reason it just wont. The code i am using to try and do it is:


Code:

You can replace the BCALL to mov9ToOP1 with a rst 20h, save two bytes. I dunno about the rest, though. TI-OS' token scheme is strange and evil.

Alright i will replace that. But what has me confused is it should be working according to the documentation on wikiti.

It looks perfectly fine to me as well; I see no reason why that wouldn't work,

Since i am having problems with the text input routine i am just going to upload the api as it is now and come back to it later after i expand my knowledge of asm. This way i dont get to frustrated or anything and "accidentaly" delete it from my calculator or computer.

Edit: Here is the link to download my the finished api as it is now. I am also uploading it to ticalc.org so the members on this site and united ti will get to use it first hand instead of waiting for ticalc to upload it.

The program: http://lafferealm.awardspace.com/LBAPI.8xp
The readme: http://lafferealm.awardspace.com/ReadMe.doc

all you have to do is right click and save as. I would have uploaded them as a zip but filezilla wouldnt let me.

a few Suggestions
1. have invert text and uninvert text as two comands (it is apain if the flag gets changed by a string input) ex. my lightning game
2. black screen
3. Finish sprite routine!!!!!!

1. It saves space to keep it as one command. And if it gets reset all you have to do is run the command again.
2. That is in there. It is the inverse graph command
3. Will get to that.

1. What if you don't know if it was changed because it doesn't always do it
2. That inverts the screen but it there is text or sprites you have to clear it first so I need to use two comands where I could use one (recallpic1)
3. Hurry up

1. Will do once first version gets uploaded
2. I will make that another command.
3. I have sort of abandoned this because of difficulty, and is way beyond my skill

Pitiful..
{X,Y,H} in L6, data in Str0
6:prgmAPI (or whatever) where X is the X coordinate, Y is the Y coordinate, H is the height, and data is 2H bytes in length.

Code:

OK, so that's not very elegant and needs to be optimized, but it's not that hard.

@Tari I should have had you make a lib for me you could have done it in one class period

Edit: I may just have to look around ticalc to see if any other small libs have the few functions i wand or you can check their source codes.
