Looks fine in FX for me, although I only glanced quickly. When I get the chance I'll see how it comes out in Dillo and Lynx. :)

Three times sounds about like the number of times I've started and stopped learning asm because I had to give my friend's link cable back. Maybe this time it will stick, especially with such a great tutorial.

I saw that you shifted from NoStub to Ion compatible this time. Seems to me like a good choice. You going to focus on game making for the z80 in this version?

In that case, I'll continue printing the old one because I need a better understanding of the calc first.

Though game making advice would be good because I have little experience in making one.

One thing I would suggest is that you keep the old version avalible for people who want to learn with TASM.

So, with such a coruscating résumé, you would naturally have the impression that the Z80 best use of silicon until Pamela Anderson?

Funny, but shouldn't it be 'that the Z80 was the best use...'?

That Hello World source made me laugh... feeling cynical now Sigma? That being said, the biggest difference I see is that it's leaning more towards what CoBB's guide is.

I like having more examples. Example code is great if you are writing a routine, but if you just want to test your understanding of how something works, its nice to have a full program to read.

Actually, I disagree. I find it easier to digest a programming concept if it's given to me in pieces. Otherwise I'm overwhelmed by the pages of code.

I didn't mean that typo or the few of other typos that I found scattered: try looking at what I actually quoted. It's even bolded for you.


As to having programs vs. examples, why not have examples for each day but a program incorporating the major ideas after each week or something.

For which compiler to use, how about a checkbox somewhere that changes the formatting of the examples from one to the other? Only if you really have spare time, it's not needed but would be impressive.

Code:
.include "memmap.h"  <----- what is this/what does it do?
.include "ti83plus.h" <----- it changed from a ".inc" file to a ".h" file?

.orga   $9D95   <---- wasnt it $9D93 before?
<----- what happened to the "t2ByteTok,AsmPrgm" ($BB,$6D) stuff?


I think you should have a page for people who previously used TASM or started learning/learnt from a previous version of the guide, and tell them the structuring changes from TASM->WLA.

Heh Smile . I copy+pasted the fast ClearScreen code from the guide (which was changed in version 2 so that it doesnt zero out the GraphBuffer, but instead AppBackup).

Ranting is okay; I actually enjoyed some of it in version 2 because it helped me better understand the ASM concepts a bit.

the only problem I noticed in my version of Safari was the escape codes....have you run it through the w3c validator yet?
