I am doing a 2D , full screen, game in win32 api with c++.
The next step is making in assembler.
I know Z80 assembler (8Bit).
Where i find an assembler (freeware)?
Where i find a list of opcodes and their meaning?
Where i find the list of adreess for use os resources?

Thanks in advance

1) FASM
NASM
TASM [1][2][3]
MASM32
2) Intel Manuals ( the great intel manuals ! )
3) U might want to refraze this :mellow: but if i got u corect Bona Fide OSDev

I recommend getting RadASM. It's a great ide.


EDIT: Here's some links that FrozenKnight gave me once:

x86 Assembly tutorials
Art of Assembly
Iczelion's Win32 Assembly Homepage

Argh!!!! Assembly is the language, assembler is the program !!!

RadASM wont help ya too much if you dont knw a shit...

Check out RosAsm at:
http://betov.free.fr/RosAsm.html

No thanks. Just spent a few days at alt.lang.asm and you'll want to run as fast away as possible from RosASM and especially it's author.

i recomend the Art Of Assembly books they are free and easy to find online. i used the old 16 bit dos version because it goes a little more in depth and soesnt use HLA. i also recomend Iczelion's Win32 Assembly. that site may not cover the basics very well but it does get you started in win 32 ASM, and it gets you working with asm fairly fast.

I recommend the MASM32 assembler.

flat assembler
Admitedly I haven't tried this one myself (been some time since I did any pure assembly programming), but I've heard it's a pretty good assembler.
From the docs it look like has good macro / conditional assembly support as well.

Yeah i used it and it's real nice but it still lacks some features

I use FASM a lot. I can't do much to be honest, and it is a hell of a lot of work... but you can learn a ton about how your computer works by using an assembler right next to a hex editor... I once keyed in a "Hello World" program in a hex editor... it was kinda fun.

Yeah, I need a life. :P

Oh c00l a fellow ASM'er :)

I'm starting to learn ASM too :)

just out of curiosity, how come?

I know asm syntax but havent actually learned it yet i eventually will

Forget that, that was only useful for your Z80 processor or other earlier computers and Dos programs, with Windows you use WInApi and DirectX.
Besides that it's not useful to program your whole game in assembly, if at all you should just optimize a few functions with assembly.
To be able to do that you have to be a good assembly programmer, if not then you maybe just make it slower than with C++.

Woa, this topic was bumped from a long time ago lol. Xception i didn't know you still posted here! :P

Well, it's just a little bit more than one month since the last reply and I didn'T look at the date of the last post.
I just found the link of this board by looking through my favorites folder and since I'm an old skool asm programmer and probably the only one who knows what he meant with adresses of os resources I had to answer here.
My favorite language is still Delphi/Pascal, therefore I don't visit this board often.
But I try to come here as often as I can.
Nice board.

I'm used to code prety heavily in ASM ;)

I thought he mean abotu Operating System resource oh well it don;'t matter

You should come around more often
I know you because of your fame in the Game Maker Community
you've made some nice 3d engines and dlls :)

It's got the strangest syntax ever thought up, windows-only, and can only produce PEs. <_<

stranger then AT&T ? :blink:

You bet. -_-

hey guys, after lots of (mental) deliberation as to what language i should learn next i've decided to learn assembly also. it was a toss up between assembly or php and assembly won, so i'll be having a look at those tutorials and trying to find a nice ide.
