I think assembly has an undeserved reputation for being difficult
It is difficult. But you put in the work and like anything it gets easier. My first experience was learning 65xx Assembly on my own when I was 11. I think OP will be just fine.
- foxfluff 5y agoMy first experience was in my teens, using a disassembler to change hardcoded keybindings in a game (x86) and then defeat some kind of checksum (anti-tamper?) mechanism because otherwise it wouldn't run after the modifications. I didn't think it was particularly difficult. Of course, starting from scratch, there was a lot I had to look up and thus it was rather time consuming. But at no point did I feel it was hard, I just needed to push on.
- flohofwoe 5y agoOnce it "clicks" it's actually easier than most high-level programming languages IMHO ("easy" doesn't necessarily mean "productive" of course). Some CPUs and assembly dialects are worse than others though (e.g. x86 was never "enjoyable" for me).
