simple assembly programs
« on: April 18, 2005, 04:26:25 AM »
My skills in assembly are virtually non-existent. I know the basic x86 syntax but I don't know what kinds of programs I should try to write to improve my skills. I've been wanting to improve my asm skills for ages but now I'm finally gonna get off my a$$ and do it. Does anyone have any ideas for something I should at least attempt?

Well asm stuff is pretty hard to get the fell for. I would suggest you write a simple program that consists of some functions(with arguments). Oh I got an idea. Make your own random number generator that only returns positive numbers.

Thanks. I suppose the most basic programs are what I need to be looking at.

Even more basic?  Basic OS independant text output/formatting and keyboard input functions.  Maybe something that converts a number entered as a string of characters into an integer.

I used to do a little bit of assembly.
