Re: Questions about the book


No, the book does not cover game logic or platform specifics.

The book is basically 3 examples from the simple series (hello world, Bitmap drawing, bitmap movement) on one platform (The simplest for each cpu), an introduction to the processor, and a description of each instruction in the ...

Questions about the book

Hello,
I didn't know where else to post this but I'm curious about the book. I hope I don't come across as stupid or asking weird questions.
1. Does the book touch on game logic at all or is it simply an introduction, a taster for ASM programming?
2. What differences does the book have with the ...

Re: Another rather newbie question

If you didn't understand Keith's explanation I will add a little more to it so maybe you can understand it. To convert a hex value to an ASCII letter first notice that in the ASCII table there is a gap, of size 7,between the two groups of characters 0 to 9 and A to F, this obviously suggest to ...

Another rather newbie question

Hello. So I'm looking at the hex converter you wrote, and I have two questions:
So the division works by loading the register b with 16 (because hex is base 16), subtracting the "main" number with it, and then adding a "tally" by increasing the c register until the register B gets to zero.

That I ...

Looping strings

Hi there,
I've wanted to know how to loop strings. I've tried using the register B as what "carries" the loop. I wrote my PrintString correctly, but I have no idea how to make the word "Test" constantly repeating.

A greeting to you all

I wish to learn 6502 and Z80 Assembly, and perhaps other architectures like x86 later on.

My primary architectures and fields of interest in terms of ASM (i.e. what I want to ...
