A lot of things achieved in more advanced games would simply be impossible with a high level language such as Basic or C and such a limited CPU and RAM. Plus assembly allows you to do many, many things that can't be accomplished otherwise.


And what if the topicstarter just wants to start out with writing a simple game? Learning assembly to write a simple game like a Boulderdash or Arkanoid clone (just to name something) is a complete waste of time IMHO. Blitzbasic is far easier to learn, and you can achieve a LOT with it. Once you reach the limits with Blitz (or C, for that matter), then maybe it's time to try your hands at assembly. But for a beginner who hasn't got skyhigh goals I wouldn't recommend assembly.

I would choose AsmOne over DevPac by the way :-)

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.


And you say that to Piru? :lol:

As for removing the link, I won't be doing that. If a moderator feels the need to do so then they can feel free.


It's against amiga.org's forum posting policies to post links to warez. You have agreed to these terms when you signed up, so leaving that link as it is doesn't make you look any better in here...

And yeah, I'm curious too as to what you have made for the Amiga, being this asm-guru and all :-)
