Episode #097 - Printing Bin & Hex Numbers II
In the previous episode, we've created pseudo commands that converted numbers into their binary and hexadecimal string representations.
They will work fine in most cases when we need to either print the string directly to the screen or store them in the memory.
But sometimes we might prefer to have print commands that would use the KERNAL's character output routine.
This way we wouldn't need to care about the screen coordinates and have the number printed at the current cursor position.

I learned assembly the hard way, with only limited documentation. Although part of the fun is in discovering all these things yourself, I think such screencasts could have helped me in getting up to speed faster. They do contain some nice bits of information :)

64bites brings me closer to understanding a computer I learned to love long ago, and still do. More than anything, it is really fun to follow the lessons and I always look forward to the next episode with great anticipation. It is the best thing since chocolate.
