As part of my course i have to write some code in Assembly Language. The course is mostly self taught, and all i have right now are some tasks. I have to get an Assembly language compiler and some basic Assembly tutorials. I havn't got a clue where to go for these. Anyone out there who can give me a hand in getting started in Assembly by pointing me to a Windows Compiler and some basic tutorials? All help is appreciated. Ta- Dave

It's been so long since I used it! I remember spending a day working out a joystick routine. It was a bunch of nested loops and jumps. It was 8 directional, and worked really well. I had a sprite on the screen, and one touch of the joystick wrapped him around the screen about 12 times...that was a tap! LOL!

@DivW

Check out MASM. Its one of the best free assemblers out there. You will probably find it in the download section of Iczelion's webpage.

http://win32asm.cjb.net/

Iczelion's page is also home to some pretty good Win32 ASM tutorials as well.

I'm not sure if you are allowed to use this assembler, but it would probably be drastically easier to learn assembly with if you come from a high level language background. The assembler I'm refering to is HLA. High Level Assembly language.

It won't be that bad. Assembly is kind of easy if you are doing some small things. Just make sure you comment like crazy so you understand your code.

Damn. I'm supposed to be using the dasm assembler and the 6502 emulator, whatever that is. Just found a handbook with loads of info in it. I can probably do this. Wish me luck...

6502/6510 code is easy to use & learn - my second C64 program (the first game) was written totally in assembler... Took 6 months if I remember correctly...

Good Luck, fellow entity

Then comes tomorrow and you're a little shorter of your breath and one day closer to your death...
