| By wolf_ on November 14 2007, 02:11 | It's meant for non-assembly coders. We're polling the interest to learn assembly, not the amount of assembly coders we already have.

| By Rikusu on November 14 2007, 02:36 | Nahhh... I considered it, but it takes too much time, and time unfortunately is something I don't have very much  . When I was younger and still a very active MSX user, I always thought that assembly would be too difficult for me. I don't think that would be a problem now anymore. Apart from that, programming is not the only thing you need to make something cool; you'll also need graphics and music and - what's most important - an audience.

| By Huey on November 14 2007, 10:15 | I would like to improve my Z80 assemby skills.
BUT, I think we should not underestimate the alternatives like C. They are powerfull too.
With the main code in C and the use of assembly modules (decompression, music/sfx replayer, vpd i/o) you can more easily (read: easier to keep overview) create good programs. Especially games..... IIRC Nerlaska is C + assembly too.
