Por qué existe este paso

Las lecciones de carga pasaban valores a lda. STA establece el límite complementario de escritura: un modo de direccionamiento proporciona una dirección de destino, mientras que la instrucción escribe A a través del bus de la CPU sin modificar los flags del procesador.

Implementación de ejemplo completa

# emulator/cpu/instructions.py
def sta(cpu, address: int) -> None:
    value = cpu.a
    cpu.bus.write(address, value)


# emulator/cpu/opcodes.py
from emulator.cpu.addressing_modes import zero_page
from emulator.cpu.instructions import sta


def sta_zero_page(cpu) -> None:
    address = zero_page(cpu)
    sta(cpu, address)


OPCODE_TABLE = {
    # Preserve existing entries.
    0x85: sta_zero_page,
}

Invariantes importantes

sta recibe una dirección, no un valor leído de esa dirección
la escritura pasa por cpu.bus.write
$85 consume un byte de operando y almacena A en $00nn
STA deja Zero y Negative sin cambios, incluso cuando A es $00 o tiene el bit 7 activado

Concepto erróneo habitual

No copies el cpu.bus.read(address) de un manejador de LDA: STA escribe A en la dirección resuelta y no deriva flags del byte almacenado.

Fuera de alcance

otros modos de direccionamiento de STA
añadir nuevos ayudantes de modo de direccionamiento
el tiempo de ciclos y los efectos de hardware del lado de escritura

def test_sta_instruction_exists():
    """
    Objective:
    Create in instructions.py:
        def sta(cpu, address):
            ...

    What it does:
    - Read the value from register A.
    - Write that value into the given address.

    Implementation example:
        def sta(cpu, address):
            value = cpu.a
            cpu.bus.write(address, value)

    Important idea:
    LDA receives a value.
    STA receives an address.

    Example:
    If A is 0x42 and address is 0x0010,
    STA writes 0x42 into RAM address $0010.

    Unlike LDA, STA only writes memory.
    It does not change flags based on the stored value.

    Then add opcode 0x85 to OPCODE_TABLE:
