And when you have mastered C, you can move on to assembly language. Once upon a time I used to blather on about "high level languages" and how superior they are to machine languages. Not so much now, as I have come to appreciate the elegance of using direct computation (arithmetic and logical) to perform complex computation.
- justanothersys 7y agoWhat do you mean by this? Would love a cool example. I have experience in C and lots of higher level languages but writing games and such in Assembly was before my time.
- kgwxd 7y agoI think Atari 2600 programming is super fun. It's 6502 assembly, which is pretty simple and fun on it's own, but mixed with unique, very limited hardware makes it even more interesting. You can do it online [1], but using DASM [2] and Stella and it's debugger [3] is even better. And if you ever want to run it on real harware, it's pretty cheap to make it happen.
