Which assembler?
What Assembler would anybody reccomend me having a go with, i.e. preferably the most easy to use :) Feature`s don`t neccesarily top my needs, as I won`t be doing any games in MC, just wanting to learn the language, and be able to try a few small routines. - Yahoo!

Re: Which assembler?
Hi Calvin, For SAM I recommend Comet http://home.orange.nl/edwin.blink/samcoupe/software/comet/comet.htm it's got fullscreen editor, syntax checking on entering a line and errors are inserted in the source just above the line containing the error. Just great to get started. For PC I recommend TASM and your favorite editor.

RE: Which assembler?
I tend to use TASM 3.2 ,[ for PC ] there are better ones out there as every one will now recommend the one they like and Edwin's Comet for Sam.

Re: Which assembler?
I do all my SAM development on the PC, using a cross-assembler. For SAM development I chose the AS80 PC cross-assembler... Works a treat! It's free, and you can grab it here: http://www.kingswood-consulting.co.uk/assemblers/ My editor of choice is StarBase's CodeWright 6.5 - which is great. It's not free though, and is a little tricky to find these days. For my initial foray into developing for the SAM - back in 1990(ish) - I used the SCAssembler, which can be found here: http://www.worldofsam.org/node/536 Then, when Edwin released his superb Comet assembler, I moved all my source over to that. Today - I would stick with developing on the PC though - it's much faster, and coupled with SimCoupé makes developing for the SAM a piece of cake! Chris.
Re: Which assembler?
Thanks Edwin :) I like the online manual, and disk contents with descriptions, will be very handy :D I`ll ask some questions if (oops, I mean when, hehe) I get stuck ! Right, I`m off to raid the WoSpec archive for books, any reccomendations?

If you're looking for tools which run entirely on the Sam, then Comet is your best bet. If you're running SimCoupe on a PC or Mac or unix box, then naturally I will suggest pyz80: http://www.intensity.org.uk/samcoupe/pyz80.html You write your assembly as text files in your favourite text editor (using familiar Comet syntax) then run pyz80 with them: it spits out a disk image which you can load into SimCoupe directly. You can see your code running within seconds of typing it. Cheers, Andrew -- --- Andrew Collier http://www.intensity.org.uk/ --- --
