It was so fun working with Hack Clubbers on this project!
Hack Club is a group of teenagers from all over the world, and we decided to learn assembly together from scratch and see what happened.
We ended up making this guide as we learned, since a lot of the resources we were working with weren't the easiest to parse.
Happy to answer any questions :)
- neverartful 4y agoBravo! Great to see stuff like this! Hopefully you made some new friends too.
- jessicard 4y agoThank you so much! It was so fun working with the teenagers in the community.
- djmips 4y agoI only skimmed but it's looking good so far! Would you like feedback or suggestions? And if so, using git issues or other? Thanks!
- jessicard 4y agoIssues and PRs are preferred - thank you so much for reading! :D
- mixedmath 4y agoThis is really wonderful. And I like how simple and clean the pages look, even through markdown+github. Cheers.
- jessicard 4y agoThank you so much!! We really wanted to try to make it live alongside the code examples in GitHub, but still feel almost e-book like. We definitely hacked around the GH Markdown a bit to achieve this. Thanks for noticing!
- dingosity 4y agoEchoing other's comments... I'm happy you did this and hope to see more content like it!
- jamal-kumar 4y agoI gotta say, it's pretty cool how nice young people have it these days with what's available in terms of stuff like Hack Club. The whole scene has become WAY more inclusive as a result of things like that, and the acerbic hacker archetype who snaps at you for not knowing things the way they do is so dead as a result - that to me is great, I don't miss those guys and their gatekeeping. If you want to check out some fun assembly code in a larger program, I suggest checking out the leaked furby source code. [1] The assembly for the lunar landing modules from the 1960s is also pretty wild [2] [1] https://www.seanriddle.com/furbysource.pdf https://www.seanriddle.com/furbysource.pdf [2] https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11 https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11
- jessicard 4y agoIt's so amazing, I completely agree! It's really inspiring honestly. And... OH MY GOD FURBY SOURCECODE THIS IS AWESOME THANK YOU
- jamal-kumar 4y agoGlad you find joy in it. It's 6502 assembly, in case you were wondering - Though the chip was a low-voltage 6502-alike called the Sunplus. Those things were pretty crazy when they glitched out, my friend had one which would get thrown in into a loop where it just open and close its eyes looking from side to side going WEAOWEAOWEAOWEAO like some kind of possessed demon until you took the batteries out. Oh yeah, obligatory picture of what I'm pretty sure is Margaret Hamilton standing next to a printout of that lunar lander code [1] [1] https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/margaret_hamilton5.jpg https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/ma...
- aasasd 4y ago> Those things were pretty crazy when they glitched out [...] thrown into a loop like some kind of possessed demon I was under the impression that this is the primary memorable feature of Furbies. The second one is the Furby Organ, of course: https://youtube.com/watch?v=GYLBjScgb7o https://youtube.com/watch?v=GYLBjScgb7o

- tomcam 4y agoThey’re taken away to be… replaced by someone more fit, capable, and attractive.
- joe__f 4y agoHey that's awesome! When I was a teenager I learnt C++ so I could code on a Zelda fan game engine. Why did you guys want to learn assembly?
