as advice suggested, I keep everything in a text file.
and post comments to many routine.
I also try indentation.
but again, it don't draw a line... (though dotting a pixel works)
it takes several hours Crying or Very sad
I follow wikipedia's line drawing algorithms
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_drawing_algorithm
welcome any feedback or suggestion
here's my code

thanks!

In order to remove the parameters from the stack you have to "add sp, const" not to "sub".

Although:
1. don't use CCALL convention. use "ret N" (STDCALL) or simple register argument passing. It will save you from troubles.

2. "call quit" is pretty useless in this context. It will not make the program clear. Use direct instructions in place.

3. use BP register in order to access parameters in the stack - BP works on SS by default.

I catch the bug!

Code:
org 100h
mov ax, 10
mov bx, 10
div bx
add ax, '0'
int 29h
mov ax, 00h
int 16h
mov ax, 4c00h
int 21h  
    

this crash on div instruction

but following code doesn't crash!
Code:
org 100h
mov dx, 0
mov ax, 10
mov bx, 10
div bx
add ax, '0'
int 29h
mov ax, 00h
int 16h
mov ax, 4c00h
int 21h

div instruction divides 32bit value in DX:AX, not the single AX. So, you have to put valid number in DX.

kty11,

Examine closely draw_line()'s stack:
Code:
        .init:
        push bp
        mov bp, sp
;;; Call frame offsets:
;;;   bp+2: return address
;;;   bp+4: y2
;;;   bp+6: y1
;;;   bp+8: x2
;;;   bp+10: x1
;;;   bp+12: color
        mov cx, 0
        .loop:
        push cx
        mov ax, [bp+8];;; x2
        mov bx, [bp+6];;; y1
        add ax, cx      ;cx increases as loop runs
        cmp ax, bx
        jge draw_line.end    
There are more errors: e.g. you do push cx inside loop (i.e. for each iteration), but do corresponding pop cx outside loop (i.e. only once per draw_line() call).
Moreover, that pop cx comes after leave, which drops saved cxes from stack, so the popped value is the return address (and following ret 10 will use y2 instead Wink).

Use debugger, it shows that clearly.

Horizontal and vertical (and maybe diagonal) lines are so special cases that they probably should be handled specifically.
