    Anyone for a project?

    Howdy all,

    Ok, it's been a long time since I've typed any line of executable code (I mean, I post here, but haven't actually written in an IDE or notepad or anything for ages!). My Visual Studio 6 CD's are snapped. Visual Studio.NET CD's are scratched. So this leaves me with the freely available MASM. Was wondering if anyone wanted to try something with me.

    Anyone who's downloaded MASM may have seen the DirectX examples. I was wondering if anyone would like to try writing a small 3D engine (or possibly 2D) in ASM, to post up in the CodeBank.

    I await your replies.

    Visual Studio 6, Visual Studio.NET 2005, MASM

    If you wanted to do something worth while, you should try out creating com and activex in ASM. It's something you could use in every language like vb and c, and would be bare min in size.

    DirectX is using COM...that is close enough....

    See, thats a little advanced

    I'm still learning as much as I can for ASM (mostly 32-bit), but I thought making a small engine would help me get the grasp of it a bit more.

    Meh, I might start with something easier. Say a proper text editor...kinda like Word.

    Make a nice graphic alarm clock with an analog dial.
