In the beginning, there was darkness - and then, there was machine code. This book will teach you the ways of old, before programming languages were ever even invented. Specifically, we will be looking at the native language of the z80 processor. Coincidentally, Ti 83 class calculators use a z80! So, we will be looking at these calculators.Throughout this book, you will fundamentally understand how computers work at a wire-by-wire level. This can only be done via machine code. Think about some programming languages you know. As you are hopefully aware of, when you write code, it gets compiled into the machines native language. We are skipping that, and going straight to the native code. This has several benefits of course. Programming in machine code, you will...- Understand the processor, and calculator, thoroughly. Wire. By. Wire.-Build and design programs impossible for Ti-BASIC Programmers. Can you use a BASIC program to place code that activates after you leave the program? I'll give you a hint: you can't.-Learn to document code with ruthless efficiency. You are, after all, programming in another language!

First published in 1982, William Tang’s Spectrum Machine Language for the Absolute Beginner is generally considered to be the best introduction to 8-bit machine code programming ever written. With many great game writers crediting this as the book that got them started, there still is no better way to learn the language at the heart of the ZX Spectrum. * * * As the original publisher Melbourne House wrote: If you are frustrated by the limitations of BASIC and want to write faster, more powerful, space-saving programs or subroutines, Spectrum Machine Language for the Absolute Beginner is the book for you. Even with no previous experience of computer languages, you will be able to discover the ease and power of the Spectrum's own language. Each chapter includes specific examples of machine language applications which can be demonstrated and used on your Spectrum as well as a self-test questionnaire. At the end of the book, all this is brought together in an entire machine language program - from design right through to the complete listing of an exciting, original arcade game. * * * Acorn Books is proud to present its Retro Reproduction Series, a collection of classic computing works from the 1980s and 90s, lovingly reproduced in the 21st century. From standards of programming reference no self-respecting microcomputer programmer would be without, to obscure works not found in print anywhere else, these modern reprints are perfect for any connoisseur of retro computing.
