A bit of actual Assembly knowledge for once. Let's cover some basic operations.

In C, to print something, you say:

printf("Hello, World!");

One argument. Very simple. Very understandable.

But it's not so easy in Assembly, is it?

Here's what the same looks like in Assembly, assuming you've properly declared a string called msg, and you're using Linux syntax (Assembly is formatted different between operating systems. I recommend Linux because it makes the most sense for developers).

mov rax, 1

mov rdi, 1

lea rsi, [msg]

mov rdx, 14

syscall

What's going on here?

Well, there are four parts to a simple print statement in Assembly. Each are put into place by registers in your CPU. rax, for example, is one of these registers.

We use mov to move values into the register. Notice that the syntax is: opcode destination, source

- rax holds the number for your function. In this case, 1 is used for print. (Full list of function numbers here)

- rdi holds the first argument in your function (arg0), which is 1 for standard output (stdout). For comparison, 0 is standard input (stdin)

- rsi (arg1) holds the actual text from the string. We use lea (load effective address) instead of mov, because if we used mov, we would get the memory address (location) of msg rather than the value of msg.

- rdx (arg2) holds the number of characters you want to print. There are 13 chars in our string msg: (Hello, World!). Thus, we allocate 14 characters, so we may also include a null character which says where to end the string.

- syscall basically just tells the computer to activate the function you have set up. Without it, you're just moving arbitrary values for no reason.

I know I know, it's a lot. But there is value in learning this language. Assembly runs way faster and uses much less space than higher level languages like C.

In my own experience, hello world code comes out to be about 15 kilobytes in C, but only about 200 bytes in Assembly. You read that right. Bytes. Without a kilo, mega or giga.

what if reflection was dungeon meshi :3

ace [tortured]: to save my sister we have to go back in the dungeon but we dont have money to buy supplies. i know this is asking a lot but i think we need to start eating monsters

cam: sure man

arg0s: fine

riddil: interesting >:3

mic: ok

willow: dont worry i can cook anything :-)

basil: were we not already eating monsters?

[arg0t]

Btw

You should know that when I read your username I silence the t

You are arg0

Like escargot

That's right you got franced

fuck! not the intentional pronunciation!! that was what you never expected STERNEST - C’ÉTAIS FRANÇAIS TOUT LES TEMPS!! 🥖🍷👨‍🎨

Subject: Hey

It’s Arg0s. Mic can’t stop perceiving so we’re going to a pawn shop. But I hope you’re good. Talk later?

[thelunarsystemwrites]

hi idk what im doing just hi

HI SIS!!

ARG0S I MADES A NEW FROEND 2DAY!!

[kaloetsubaki]

Proud to say I am less mentally ill about Ace and Arg0s but that's only because I've become mentally ill about Ace and Mic. It's evenly distributed now.

@surprisestabtober Day 14: Alternate TTRPG

Last year I started my Reflection Fantasy AU with an Arg0s, now I'm bringing him back with a better design and fairy Mic!

(no donikers 'cause I couldn't find a race that works in *nondescript fantasy TTRPG*)
