    Indeed, its been a while since someone got here while looking for info on assembly language but let me assure you you're not the only one :-)
    As I'm a bit of an assembly-fanatic myself I do tend to answer those posts though.
    Anyhow, I get the impression you havent really grasped the nature of assembly language; it is not similar to a high level language (ie C or basic) in that it can be "made" as such, on the contrary, it is a reflection of the CPU's instruction set (the lowest level of programming possible, aka "machine code") and is thus connected to your CPU architecture. Hence, you can make an assembler (a program that turns assembly code into 'real' programs) but you'll be constrained by the target architecture - so there's a big difference between creating an assembler and an assembly language.

    What you could do though is create your own virtual machine, kind of an emulator for a system that doesnt exist. In fact I've been busy with my own VM lately, its a bit pointless but its cool to see your own code running on your own virtual CPU :smt033
    If you want some more info on this send me a PM.

    "(...)A One World Government and one-unit monetary system, under permanent non-elected hereditary oligarchists who self-select from among their numbers in the form of a feudal system as it was in the Middle Ages. In this One World entity, population will be limited by restrictions on the number of children per family, diseases, wars, famines, until 1 billion people who are useful to the ruling class, in areas which will be strictly and clearly defined, remain as the total world population." Dont let media feed you with lies. open your eyes and search information yourself.

    Right now I can sorta use C (who really can well?), I've used TCL before in an internship. I'm trying to learn general assembly (6502 & x86) in my spare time which isn't going very well :D

    I'm a dev in training. I live in a growing game developer community here in Orlando. I'll get trained in my art in time before it gets way too cluttered here and I'll be able to have a good grip on how things are played down here so that I can follow my agenda.

    A local developer here has a license with Nintendo to make the upcoming Geist game. I'll try to become friendly with some workers there to see how its going ;).

    Hey guys, I'm moving this over to the OT section because it doesn't quite fit here.

    I'm an assembly freak (like I probably already said above :p), but I have to learn C++ for college purposes :smt019
    Just did some more coding on my Pong clone for PSX (dont laugh, it has to start somewhere :drinkers: ), gotta say that MIPS assembly is very funky :smt023
