Propel (Propeller Assembler Helper)

LucidGuppy

I wrote a short program to allow people to change a line like this:

] DIRA = #0005

into a MOV command

It uses python - so the code should be sorta readable by spinners. If you would like to use it install python, and then replace your MOV commands with a prefix "]" and then use any symbols or registers you'd like.

Let me know what you think. I'm going to improve on it when I can to make loops easier to read and write.

    and tokline == '=':
        outline = "\tMOV\t"+tokline+","+tokline
    else:
    #error if can't find symbol, register, or  = sign
    #error is making the line a comment
    outline = "'Error" + line
    return outline

for some reason the indents aren't showing up properly.

Very interesting. Will you be making the obvious extensions? E.g.:
] x += 1 ' add
] x -= 1 ' sub
] x &= 1 ' and
etc., etc.
Does your code handle if_z, if_c, etc. and wc, wz, nr?
I always liked alternative assembly languages. I'll be interested to see what you come up with for loops.
