Update Successfully ported to HP-41cx and 35s. See post #26 for more detail.

Download v0.2 Release for 41cx, 42s, and 35s.

OK... I made my first successful run at a 41cx compilation. I had to use dosbox, but I suppose that is the prescribed method for hp41uc. If there are other 'compilers' anyone wants me to try let me know.

Light Testing
Light testing using hp41uc (through dosbox) and v41r8.exe as the emulator. Honestly, my impressions are that is likely too slow to realistically play through the simulator. Real HW might be faster. Especially modern HW like DM41L, but I'll have to hear more to know for sure.

Testing was very light. Let me know what you find.

Please read the ASM source file as most the 'Readme' contents are there.

Bugs:
  • Display is base 10, so more than 9 beans in a pit is a problem.
  • When a player empties all thier pits the game is supposed to end... it doesn't
  • First to 24 wins, though it should catch ties... it doesn't
  • Found a bug in the compiler (hp41uc), but worked around it.

MyCalcs: Physical: {hp48gx, hp50g, hp35s} Emu: {hp42s(Free42), hp41c(v41)}
