How on earth did you work out how to program assembly through button presses on a calculator? Sounds like a stunning prank though.

- Xcelerate 9y agoThe TI graphing calculators have a mode for writing your own programs. Typically this is done using TI-BASIC, but if you prefix the program with the AsmPrgm symbol, it will allow you to directly write Z80 opcodes as hex values. Combined with a TI-provided guide for making bcalls (calls into common routines that have already been written, like changing LCD settings or multiplying floats), it's not too difficult to write a short ASM program by hand.
- mikeknoop 9y agoFun times. I did the same hand compiling back in middle school on a couple long plane flights where I didn't have access to a full compiler. Shame this never shipped: http://www.detachedsolutions.com/main/oldnews.php?item=58 http://www.detachedsolutions.com/main/oldnews.php?item=58
