How far can one get into binary editing?
I think the ability to edit binary exe files could be an interesting skill.

currently I'm just experimenting.

but the problem i run into is when I add an extra operation say, inc ax. it moves all the rest of the offset values which are relative to the start of the program off.

Is there any way around this?

Manually Incrementing all the offset values after i add code seems impossible.

I think it's akin to the pixel graphics - like doing all the stuff photoshop designed for in mspaint.

What you can easily do is change values of constants, like recoloring some parts, but inserting a thing or changing size already necessitates a big redraw.

Adding some new instructions can be tricky - in the pre-assembler days it was done by replacing the nearby instructions with jmp to some empty place in memory, putting the replaced instructions in that place, appending what you wanted to add, and jmp back into the old place.

Try thinking in terms of electronics - you can't stuff a part in, but you still can wire it in.
