it has always been my dream to learn assembler and code an intro or demo. But for some reason, i never got around to it. And it find it a real pity. Even now there still is that dream.
But i think it would cost me too much time learning asm on my own and i don't have that time anymore :-x
Also, i think there are not a lot of good tutorials. What i was looking for was simple tutorials that i can run on AsmOne on my A1200 and from which i can study the code and mess with it. For example, just a black screen with a scrolltext or just one effect...
Don't give up - assembler is hard to learn to start with but once you grasp the basics its a lot of fun.
I recommend to look at the tutorials by Rombust/Nerve Axis which were in later issues of the "Grapevine" diskmag by LSD. They should be on the Aminet somewhere. They are excellent.
And also get some good startup/shutdown code - hardware-banging is great fun but for some reason people tend to not be so happy these days when they quit out of your game/demo and their Workbench screen doesnt come back
Start off with something simple like making some copperbars, then making them move up and down, then displaying a picture, then making a scroller and so on... soon you'll end up with a complete intro that you can release at some party.
