Re: OT: An odd little question
Yeah...
Thing is, the thing has a whopping 8k of memory, so any program we write is in it's own little assembly language, which involves using little 2-4 byte codes that represent a command, then a 2-4 byte code that represents the data that the aforementioned command is supposed to use. So something like 3e10 would mean "Transfer 10 into Register AF", or 770280 would mean "Transfer the contents of memory address 8002 (because you have to enter memory addresses backwards for some reason) to Register C6".
Now apparently, somewhere there's a command for Call Tone, that takes a code that represents a musical note and a duration, so getting this thing to play music would involve entering a series of Call Tone commands with the right combination of notes/durations to play a song.
I know what the code for Call Tone is, but I don't have the combination of notes & durations to produce a song, and I can't simply grab a music sheet since I don't know what the codes are for the various notes & durations either.
