Version 5.12 [LATEST]

Maby so Bobbylou (I did a rhym!) But learning assembly (incredibly hard) it makes up for learning VB (easy-ish).

VB Is simple for some stuff but if you want to make anything good it takes alot of hard code to make it.

[Bobbyloujo]

Eh. Whatever.

[Mint]

VB is programming for noobs.

And Yoshi is right. PAlib is a library and DBAS is a language.

Looks a bit too basic

[thedark]

in the early years before your time i programed a vieuw languages my self.

fortran
lisp
logo
Acorn 6502 basic and a bit asembler
Acorn Master 65C02 same as above
Riscos (ARM) Acorn Risc Machines
VB upto 6.0
Visual C
and then now C++ (works a bit diferent)
but i do not like c++ mutch

what is the 65
this looks a lot of the 6502 asm

lda Var1 load acumulator with Var1
cmp Var2 Compare it with Var2
beq NextRoom Brance if equel with NextRoom

yeah i stil know...

[Mint]

Yeah that's great... Which is easier, C or C++?

[YoshiInAVoid]

C is easier in my opinion but it depends what your used to.

Here's a hello world made with SNES Game Maker with some comments if anyone is interested on how the code from a generated ROM looks:

Code: Select all

.INCLUDE "Temp.inc"
.INCLUDE "Include/Include.asm"
.BANK 0 SLOT 0
.ORG 0
.SECTION "MainCode"
Main:
   ;Init some stuff
   InitializeSNES
   jsr QuickSetup
   jsr JoyInit
   ;Go to the first room
   jmp Room
Room:
   ;Run the script "Text" and then go to the Room's Loop section.
   jsr Text
   jmp RoomLoop
RoomLoop:
   ;Nothing much here since it's just a Hello World
   ;wai just means PA_WaitForVBL()
   wai
   jmp RoomLoop
Text:
   ;Output text and then ReturnToSubstring
   PrintString "Hello world!\n"
   rts
.ENDS


@The dark, yes that's correct!

[Mint]

VB looks confusing. ;.; Seriously...

P.S. SNESGM saves the file as a SNES Rom file.

[thedark]

that 6c816 what type machiene is this.

and how old where you...

[YoshiInAVoid]

The code I showed is not VB code it's ASM.

SNESGM doesn't save it, it compiles it like with DSGM.

6C816 is the core of the SNES.

I am 12.

[Mint]

Yoshi... one off topic question... Are you only changing the domain of SNESGM site? Or are you making a new site? Because I just joined.

[YoshiInAVoid]

I have no idea.

LiquidManZero just emailed me the FTP passwords and such so I have access to the new site domain now however I'll sort it all out later. I'm making my SNES emulator now, and then I'll go to bed.

[thedark]

ah i tought it whas 65c816 but it is 6c816 ah okey.

the machine code looks exactly like the old 6502 acorn asembler.
that makes lif very easyer, but i am a bit rusty at asembler.

i learned it from a friend of mine who is now doing processor programming, a very high level programmer.
makes a lot of money these past vieuw years..
i had to listen more to him than i now could stop working ;-)

but i am impressed at your age and the languages you program in, it took me about 10 years.
and i am now 47 years started at my 19th

[James]

Good work guys! Abstraction prevents the need for writing low level code.
