ASM to Basic translator

[conget]

I think many people will like it if someone can made a program that:
1. Transver from basic code to ASM
2. made a asm editor on calculator.

Such attempts have been made, and thus far there hasn't been much great success. Transferring basic code to assembly isn't really ideal, as basic code is just macros for the ti-os to jump to certain groups of assembly code, so it probably wouldn't be any better.

a program for basic>asm doesn't sound like a good idea, but you can make a tutorial for basic>asm. Something that tells how to do basic stuff like If-Then-Else-End and Output in asm, maybe with an include file with routines.

Honestly its much more gratifying to just learn ASM.

hmm that sound like a good idea, but it still requires to learn assembly and assembly have different tricks so its better to learn asm I think. Or wait until MLC/RPL comes out, they are interpreted like BASIC but a lot faster

A translator might be a good learning tool, but it may be impractical for most other uses. It tends to take away the advantages of both languages. Asm editors are common fodder nowadays. They're nice for reading unkown programs, but again there are practicality issues. And you cannot build a useful program with one; even an expert will make a mistake eventually and wipe out the whole system.
