I like switching between programming languages when I get bored of another. I learn Java in school, C++ at home, and since I don't know a low level language, I decided upon ASM

Will all assemblers have the same syntax?

Which one do you think I should use?

Is this tutorial good? http://win32assembly.online.fr/ And will it work with FASM?

When I'm done with Win32 programming, where do I go to learn how to hack other processes? I.E. Cheat at games, etc

Is it easy to develop simple games in assembly with 3D graphics?

When deciding on which language to use, C++ for bigger projects and assembly for small speedy ones?

Thanks.

What tutorial do you recommend for Win32 programming? The one at the front page with the pdf isn't done or that good in my opinion.

view the iczelion tutorials alongside the fasm code ported by vbverybeginner...lemme find it.

EDIT: Here is the fasm code to those tutorials ported by vbverybeginner

Here is the download for the iczelion tutorials

Just read the iczelion tutorials and IGNORE all the code in them, after reading the tutorial refer to the fasm code that vbverybeginner has given.

Thank you,

one more question: Why is it different for FASM?

MASM syntax is very confusing for newcomers, because single thing can beheave differently depending on circumstances. For example both "mov eax, a" and "mov eax, [a]" can move either constant value or memory contents to EAX, depending on how "a" is defined.

NASM syntax (originating in TASM ideal syntax, and later adopted by FASM and YASM) has cleared these problems, and is much simpler. But MASM still remains the most often used "industry standard" assembler, because it is MS-backed, because lot of code is already written in it, and because everyone is used to it.

Hands down ... iczelion tutorials

He made ASSEMBLER all so easy and even better to understand than ANY other and he help to bring masm32 into focus for all, else ASM would have died ... for sure. FASM seemed to be for the super brainny back than. (it still is really)

Here is a link (the first one) that tranlated the bulk of iczelion tutorials (masm) to FASM syntax and this is what won me over to come2FASM. I'm still a noob but I will get there.

As Vid indicated, FASM is a solid assembler for programmers who wish to see the truth in all he write. Don't get me wrong... only through MASM32 is what made MASM a great assembler to use but I finally realized that underlying helper code should not be build inside a true assembler and if i wanted to get down with true assembler i best to man up and tackle FASM and stop making excuses. To this day I love translating MASM code to FASM just to make myself understand all this super sh*t even better Smile I say work with FASM FIRST if your tough enough THAN go see the other guys with the (extra) smarts under your belt.
