GitHub has syntax support for the AGC assembly language built-in. Unfortunately your code editor will not, however there are AGC language extensions that provides syntax highlighting for the following editors:
Note: GitHub and the 3 extensions listed above will ensure you're using the correct formatting automatically.
- Use tab indentation
- Use tab width of 8
- Trim trailing whitespace
- Comments in the transcribed code should match the scans exactly
- This could involve creating a deliberate typo or removing/adding an entire comment.
- Line breaks with
R0000
in column 1 should match the scans exactly. - Line breaks with*out*
R0000
in column 1 should contain only 1 or 2 blank lines in a row.- If there are more than 2 blank lines breaks, strip the extra
line breaks.
- Lines with
R0000
in column 1 do not count towards this.
- Lines with
- In the source images, these were created by an unprinted digit in column 8. A 2 there forced a double space (single blank line) and a 3 forced a triple space (double blank line). Values 4-8 were defined but never used. Read more about it in #159
- If there are more than 2 blank lines breaks, strip the extra
line breaks.
For example the following:
R0819 SUBROUTINE TO SKIP...
R0820
0821 LAMPTEST CS IMODES33
Should become:
R0819 SUBROUTINE TO SKIP...
R0820
0820 LAMPTEST CS IMODES33
