Pure Gold for Assembler Newbies

[Joel D. Park]

I've been suffering with assembler.. I've been reading books and messing around with stuff but I was continually running into stuff that I couldn't understand.

 

Then last night I read this 16 page document... "Assembler in One Step".

 

The light went on and I said Duh!!!

Things are broke down with charts and stuff. It's really great.

 

A few details like Branches moving either +128 or -128 is a little more detail than necessary since most compilers will let you use LABELS instead.. But everything else is really great.

 

Good luck future developers.

While its 68k assembily I need to learn, this guide was *VERY* helpful, thanks loads. Am I right in thinking the 6502 is also used in the Lynx as well as the Atari 8bit's? (I picked up an 8bit in a flee market a while ago, still havnt played with it)

AFAIK not the Lynx, but the 8 bits for sure.

Wow, did you actually come up with the idea for Jammed? I've only played java clones, but wow is that an evil and totally adictive game!

Yes, the Lynx did use a 6502 along with the 2600 (6507 variant), 5200, 7800, and all the 8-bit computers.

I don't know if Java clones of Jammed exist (or if you talk about a completely different game), but the idea is not from me.

 

My Atari 2600 game called Jammed is a version of the Atari 2600 game Crazy Valet by Brian Prescot. And both are based on the board game Rush Hour by Binary Arts.

Hehe, cool, well I only seem to remember playing a few different java varients of the genre, no idea of their names, but the same basic concept.
