6502 Assembly Language
Been trying to relearn 6502 assembly language for fun, its a lot faster and easier than the first time on actual hardware when I was a teenager.
Been using a book I picked up from eBay Discovering BBC Micro Machine Code by A.P. Stephenson
Using BeebAsm assembler on my Mac with a BBC Micro emulator, rather than build in BBC BASIC one.
You can find my code at Github https://github.com/alastairhm/beebasm
This example draws a line of zeros to Mode 7, see screenshot below.
