Hi. My name is Aaron.

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Hey Aaron. I'm Josh.
You should totally make a topic on how to begin developing games, I think it's really cool that you're developing games and you're only a year older than me. Makes me feel like it's actually possible for me. xD

So welcome to the forum, glad you could come by.

I've decided I like Aaron. I agree with Josh: I would also like to know more about developing old games. Not that I have the talent or attention span, mind you. I just think it's crazy how pioneering the original developers had to be; I'd like to know more about their methods.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

But yeah, I love making stuff with programming and progamming in general, and love assembly. Since you control everything. I just took some time, went from Basic, to assembly, HTML, Javascript, now back to assembly and some C
You learned Assembly before HTML? Interesting, is Assembly easy to learn?

<--- Knows (X)HTML, CSS, and is learning ActionScript
and anyone's guess what's next....probably nothing. XD
Since you know JavaScript, maybe you should learn ActionScript, or maybe Lua?

Code: Select all

-webkit-border-radius:10px;
Tsk, tsk. That's not Valid CSS. :P

No, it's not. Assembly is the actual instructions supported by the CPU. Adding two registers, loading a word from memory, storing a word in memory, branching, etc. It's one step up from the actual binary in that you can get a textual representation of what the instructions are, but it's still very arcane.

Here's what Hello World looks like in Assembly. As you can see, it's pretty hard to follow without extensive comments (especially the system calls). It's very fun stuff, though.

You went to assembly code that soon? That's crazy. I did a bit of programming for my A levels a few years back, but unfortunately I've basically forgot it all. I knew a decent amount of Visualbasic.net, and did a VERY minor amount in the old QBasic and some fiddling with assembly, which i never really got the hang of.

Nowadays I just know some simple HTML and a tiny bit of actionscript. :oops:

I think we're all avoiding the key issue here. Is Aaron going to be boycotting Halal Grape poptarts?
