Deleted User	3rd May, 2004 at 1:08:26 PM - But in theory... yes.
Kris Possibly Insane Registered 5/17/2002 Points 2017	3rd May, 2004 at 4:04:59 PM - erm... most? I have to disagree with that - I'd say most commercial games (2d or 3d) are made in C++ with DirectX "Say you're hanging from a huge cliff at the top of mt. everest and a guy comes along and says he'll save you, and proceeds to throw religious pamphlets at you while simultaniously giving a sermon." - Dustin G

gizmo Registered 3/15/2003 Points 1206	14th May, 2004 at 8:50:40 AM - 512 Bytes compiled they are much smaller when in binary form. resb 0x1FE+$$-$ db 0x55, 0xAA Will nicely round up your bootsector ;P <signature> err... </signature>
Shen Possibly Insane Registered 5/14/2002 Points 3497	14th May, 2004 at 3:24:51 PM - You can use the 'debug' program in XP and stuff, which is like Assembly, only worse (numbers instead of statements, for example) gone fishin'
AndyUK Mascot Maniac Registered 8/1/2002 Points 14173	14th May, 2004 at 8:58:35 PM - it was definitly assembly that we used. ive still got the workbooks infact i remember that to run our programs we had to use some old steam powered pcs because the other ones were too fast. (even though they were mostly 300 to 600mhz) the programs flashed some leds on a board a few times yet it took about 10 minutes to type copy the stuff out of our books. .
Galaxy613 Registered 1/29/2003 Points 1765	14th May, 2004 at 11:31:13 PM - gizmo, what does resb 0x1FE+$$-$ db 0x55, 0xAA do excaly? does it start up the PC? And '0x1FE+$$-$' doesn't like any type of Hex I know of. My forum: http://subsoap.com/ck/forums/index.php
gizmo Registered 3/15/2003 Points 1206	15th May, 2004 at 8:00:33 AM - Its a nasm (Assembler compiler) specific code. (Nasm is used nearly always for all OS compiles) it basically tells it (After compiling, fill any space until its 512 bytes) <signature> err... </signature>
ChrisB Crazy? Registered 8/16/2002 Points 5457	12th July, 2004 at 6:53:03 PM - Code it in C? n/a
