Day 1 (copied from status update on 7/24/2021)

As of today, I've officially started learning 68k Assembly. If you told me 3 years ago that this is how I would be spending my time right now, I absolutely would not agree with you.

 

To tell you the truth, I'm actually finding this to be a lot easier than I thought it would be. It's definitely not easy in general by any means, but, once I initially wrapped my brain around the basics of computing, this has become a lot easier to understand.

 

Today I learned the differences between a nybble, a byte, a word, and a long-word. Then I learned how to move them between various addresses. Plus, I learned about the 68k's data and address registers.

 

For example, "move.b    #$1D,$00000013" will move the byte "1D" to offset 00000013. (the source operand stays the same)

 

Anyway, sorry for the long status post, I'm just finding this all to be very exciting. Expect me to follow up with more updates in the future as I become more acquainted with this.
