I've been learning asm in my free time recently, and I've started to notice some of the instructions, such as the if statements, are not used in any scripts (I used to play maplestory...what a waste of time). I remember that some people were saying that CE couldn't handle some instructions, or something along those lines.

Also, if anyone could give me a good explanation of what the proc and call functions do, it would be greatly appreciated (I wonder if being forced to learn VB at school has any effect on my understanding of asm...).

Thanks,
Mapleblitzer.

CE is the most basic ASM

Auto assembly

its basically jmps and tests and such

it isn't linked to all the libraries so it cant handle alot of statements

If statements are an HL concept. Down in the machine level, there is no such thing as if statements.

CE could handle all standard x86 instructions, and those instructions alone operates your computer (assuming you have a compatible CPU of course).

Yeah, I was wondering if I was learning the right things; some people from programmersheaven recommended to download art of assembly, which teachs HLA/MASM32. Would it be better if I just learned the 80x86 asm stuff? I want to learn the language that will allow me to understand how programs, from simple ones such as an adding calculator to advanced ones such as Maplestory, work and can be modified.

Thanks for the help,
Mapleblitzer.

For programming purposes, use the macros to save some time and make your code more readable. For learning purposes, stick with the low level stuff so you could understand what goes on when you use the macros.
