Oh I just remembered. In real mode you kind of use 16 bit assembly, but you can use 32 bit adressing mode in asm. In "real" 16 bit programming that's of course not possible. So the topic implied that you had some issue with adressing in 16-bit mode. And I have to admit that I am not compet...

Well, what lodsb does is load a byte from memory and put it into the al register. So if you only check wether al is zero then obviously you step past your buffer. I mean in asm exactly what you programmed happens. There is no hidden layer or anything, you just need to understand memory adressing and...

Like some people already pointed out. You are learning the basics of the programming language. What you learn is how to do maths in the program, what a class is, how to fetch input or generate random numbers. All that good stuff. And once you know all that and you understand the basics, THEN you wil...

Well, I see that you wrote a bootloader there, the 0x7C00 and the 0xAA55 kind of give it away. ^^ In general I would recommend to write "Real Mode Assembly" instead of 16 Bit Assembly, because those have a different implication immo. Anyways, regarding your code there are a few things I'd ...

It seems that only word and dword are supported tokens there and db is not.

[edit] Sorry if my help is not that great on nasm, I only use asm on embedded platforms recently and there you specify the size you operate with anyway[/edit]

Then the first hit tells you:

you need to use a size specifier so the assembler knows what size your source operand is:
mov dword [testing], 5

I want a sammich!

I guess I won't speek for everyone here with this, but here is the advice I'd give you nevertheless. What is important is to have an overall concept of how things in your game will work together in the beginning. And I really mean that, if you do not know how you want each part of your game to inter...

Mistake 1: forming lines prematurely If you are going to design "pixel art," please don't get a sprite together until you've gotten the majority of the drawing done! Lines are great to have, but they always leave shortly after, as they either lose interest or have nothing to do. Mistake 2...

While I would enjoy holding respect here (and thus be taken seriously), I really doubt that it would change anything, as you all are very stubborn. I will just say something about this real quick. Imagine you are walking along the road like you normally do and suddenly someone walks up to you and t...

Nice day and Night Cacle, I did that once a while ago. I remember it was a pain to code. Right now I am mostly working on small tutorials on all kinds of things, so if you want anything exaplined just ask and I might very well make a video about it. At least if I know what's going on. Also, suggesti...
